Not Exactly Expected (MI5 1/2, #6) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

You might think that retiring to a little mountain village in rural France would result in a quiet life, but Richard and Emma Hugh, formerly of MI5 1/2, and their friend Leandre Durand, formerly of French secret services, are not finding it so.

There are suspicious characters living on a boat on the lake. There are tourists all around. There are children and grandchildren to keep up with. Durand's son-in-law suspects he has human traffickers staying at his hotel. This is just for starters.

All this is happening while they are facing up to their past and questioning how to go forward. Not being a credentialed agent with special privileges is hard enough, when that is pretty much all you have ever been. But this following Jesus adventure that they've embarked on in old age is more of a ride than they ever imagined, especially after they decide to ditch their worldly weapons so they can fight - and live - more like the early Christians.

Autorenporträt

Kathryn Judson was a newspaper reporter and columnist for many years, before switching over to working for a small indie office supply company that morphed into the Uffda-shop, one of the largest indie bookstores in Oregon. (It has since closed.)

Almost Hopeless Horse was inspired in part by her horse Yob, who was afraid of cattle. Trouble Pug combines a love of history, time travel stories, and her late husband's fondness for a pug that traveled the country with him in his younger days. Why We Raise Belgian Horses got its start in stories from her husband's Norwegian-American family, including a story his grandfather told of a horse with an unusual phobia. The MI5 1/2 series started off as a spoof of spy novels but ended up being more serious than that in places (although still fairly silly overall). When she got tired of dystopian novels that ignore God and don't seem to understand that conversion is an option for people, she launched into the Smolder series, which also pokes sharp sticks into the evils of racism and social engineering, while still having fun with romance and friendship.

Mrs. Judson is an adult convert to Christianity. You will find, if you read her books, that the ones from early in her walk are generally more in line with an Americanized national religion than with the Sermon on the Mount (found in the Bible in Matthew chapters 5 through 7) and other foundational commands of Christ Jesus. It took her a while to realize that some of what she was taught in church and had acquired from pop culture and from reading "Christian" books was often at odds with Jesus and His apostles. Therefore, with many of her books, you'll find American "conservative" values and ways of thinking more than Christian ones. In all cases, you should always compare what is presented against what Christ teaches. When there's a difference, go with Jesus.

She has lived most of her life on the rain shadow side of Oregon but has also lived and worked in a number of other states. She also long ago traveled through Central America, and Canada, and to Japan. Also way back when, she toured with Up With People, and as a lowly flunky helped put on a Superbowl halftime show. In her school days, she was active in community theater, both on and off stage. One summer during her newspaper days, she took time off and worked for a summer stock theater company in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 2017, she asked her church in Idaho to plug her ...
