'Stand well clear. Keep your eyes on them. Oh, and make sure you have insurance.' Not the most comforting words of wisdom, but probably the most useful for a trainee vet, Jo would say. From well-equipped surgeries to windswept hills and ramshackle barns, Jo has to be able to diagnose and treat any animal, at any time of the day or night. It's not quite as easy as James Herriot made it seem. Jo's final year of training saw her race from rectal examinations of cows to spine surgery on a Great Dane, and from treating an eventing horse with a heart problem to inserting a contraceptive implant into a monkey.

When Joe “Rick” Rickman, a former golden boy of the CIA, steals a massive amount of the Agency’s most classified documents in an elaborately masterminded betrayal of his country, CIA director Irene Kennedy has no choice but to send her most dangerous weapon after him: elite covert operative Mitch Rapp. Rapp quickly dispatches the traitor, but Rickman proves to be a deadly threat to America even from beyond the grave.

It’s a deadly race to the finish as both the Pakistanis and the Americans search desperately for Rickman’s accomplices, and for the confidential documents they are slowly leaking to the world. To save his country from being held hostage to a country set on becoming the world’s newest nuclear superpower, Mitch Rapp must outrun, outthink, and outgun his deadliest enemies yet.** Views: 17

Kennedy must engage in a deadly battle of the mind as she struggles to stay alive. While fighting on two fronts — one psychological and one physical — the question isn’t whether she’ll come out of the war stronger in the end.

From the Author
Imagine you've been kidnapped, held hostage, nearly killed, and then finally rescued.
Of course, that initial wave of release rushes over you, but then you have to adjust to everyday life. You're an entirely changed person. The safety bubble you lived in your whole life has exploded, leaving you raw and exposed.
It's hard to function. Sometimes, you're sure you're back in captivity again, back in that basement where they held your life ransom. Except you're a college student determined to keep your grades up so you don't get kicked out of your school's pre-med program.
You're a Christian, and so you ignore the symptoms. After all, you don't have it that bad. But the panic attacks worsen. The nightmares intensify. Sometimes you wonder if it's God's way of punishing you for not being more faithful. If you just prayed more or read your Bible more, everything would revert back to normal.
The relationship between mental health illness and the church inspired the second novel in the Kennedy Stern series. When I started working on Paralyzed, I wanted to explore the different ways Christians react to like post-traumatic stress disorder. Of course, there's got to be suspense involved, too. By the time Kennedy's done with semester finals and ready to start Christmas break, the holidays find her trying so hard to keep herself from getting murdered she doesn't have the time worry about anxiety.
This is my second Kennedy Stern novel, and I'm happy to report there are several more in the works. Even though they're part of the same series, these stories are all meant to be standalone and can be read in any order. In Paralyzed, you'll find the same cast of characters you met in Unplanned, in which Kennedy fights to save a teenager facing a crisis pregnancy: Willow, Kennedy's roommate from Alaska whose carefree demeanor is the perfect contrast to Kennedy's tense personality; Reuben, the Kenyan lab partner who encourages Kennedy through yet another crisis; Carl and Sandy, whose backstory includes struggles and heartaches Kennedy never would have imagined until she hears about their experiences in the foster system as an interracial couple; the surfing youth pastor with dreadlocks and his wild VW bus; and the mystery redhead who continues to keep readers guessing.
