- What simple gesture does your spouse do that melts you every time?
He brings flowers and cards unexpectedly. Between those times, without a word he will take my hand and kiss it.
- Who is most romantic, you or your spouse?
He is a true romantic!
- What is the most caring thing your spouse has ever done for you?
My brother was diagnosed Alzheimer’s. It came time to have an in-home caregiver. Without hesitation, my husband agreed to move to another State to care for him. It had to have been a difficult choice, leaving behind the home we had had built on several acres to move to a rented home to live with other family members. But he has a heart that cannot be measured by any earthly measure.
- Who said, “I love you” first?
My spouse did. It took me a little while and he was so patient!
- Where did you and your spouse go for your honeymoon?
We stayed in a cabin up in the Rockies, Evergreen. I had been suffering from a severe case of the flu, which began the week before our wedding. All of his family (cousins, aunts, uncles) came, and I had never met his mother before, either. They were all so kind! I had only met his sister. It wasn’t a surprise to know she was sent out first to meet me and check back with the family!
About Justina: Justina and her husband are nurses who have retired to a charming hamlet in Maine, right on the Kennebec. She is active in church activities, and also fosters collies. Usually a mountain girl, she finds living on the ocean has charms all its own. One of her patients told her not to praise Maine to anyone, wanting it to be the best-kept secret and minimize the numbers moving there. Historical Fiction is her favorite genre. After her fourth book being released, she is currently working on a new series based on C.S. Lewis and his Four Loves. Learn more & connect:

About the books:
Tunnels: White House–Now Mohe is intent on retrieving the Peace Pipe, which was used to cement the Tribe’s future in Georgia. The first step was completed. He had been accepted as a waiter for the President of the United States. Once there, his next move would be to search for a tunnel leading to the Smithsonian and reclaim the Peace Pipe.
However, Mohe had not planned to make friends, be attracted to the beautiful housekeeper or suffer disturbing dreams from his Spirit Guide.
With so many diversions, will Mohe succeed in returning the Peace Pipe to his people?
The Kremlin–The year was 1918 and there had been a near successful attempt on Lenin’s life. He was the founder of the Russian Communist Party, better known as the Bolsheviks, and his protection was of utmost importance. This meant a promotion for Ganya to the Secret Service. He was committed to the Communist movement and it was the chance to pursue an investigation into the White Army, the confederation of anti-Communist forces fighting the Bolsheviks. The Tzar and his family were being held prisoner in Yekaterinburg and the word had reached Lenin the White Army was planning a risky rescue.
Ganya, a committed Bolshevik, would aid in Lenin’s defense and protection, as well as seeking anyone opposing Lenin. This mission would become a personal challenge to Ganya’s Bolshevik convictions. In these dangerous times, would he hold fast to his beliefs or would he give way to the aid of those in opposition?
Buckingham Palace–It’s 1870, and smallpox is making its way across the city of London. A father has been imprisoned for refusal to inoculate his nine-year-old daughter, Josephine. With no guardian to care for her, she has been thrown into the streets to fend for herself.
Along with other children living in the street, Josephine is plunged into the world of theft, where there is no safe place.
From the world of the rich to the rough streets of the city; from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, Josephine fends for herself, until she encounters someone in the staff’s quarters of Her Majesty Queen Victoria who offers help. Can Josephine leave the past behind or has the life of thievery stole her heart or will she be caught?

Question for Readers: Who is your favorite author and why?
Come back Dec 28th for Hope Toler Dougherty!
Janet Estridge says
My favorite author is the one that I happen to be reading at the time.
There are so many Christian Authors I enjoy reading that it’s hard
to just pick one.
I volunteer in my church library and have for 43 years. The library is 75+ years young and at one time, we were the biggest church library in the Southeast US. We have books, books on cd, and dvd’s for all ages.
Our readers will enjoy this series and I will too.
Thank you entering me in your giveaway.
Justina Prima says
I agree with you. It is the book you are reading at the time. Thank you for that insight!
Jennifer says
J.R.R. Tolkien. He describes things in such detail that you feel like you are in Middle Earth.
Justina Prima says
So true, Jennifer. The reader is transported and you can’t put down the book!
Alison Boss says
I enjoyed your romantic real life interview, Justina. Your husband sounds wonderful. I am also blessed with an amazing husband, and am so thankful to the Lord for him!
It’s so hard to pick just one favorite author! I have so many. My favorite genre to read is historical Christian fiction. Your ‘Tunnels’ series sounds very intriguing!! Thank you for the chance to win a complete set of this series!!!
Justina Prima says
Hi, Alison. Yes, it is very hard to pick a favorite author. Especially if you read a lot!
Thank God for a good husband. I wouldn’t be able to write if he wasn’t quiet as a mouse when he’s home while I’m writing!
Justina Prima says
Hi, Janet. Your volunteer work is commendable. Looking for books, especially for young people, can be quite a challenge. You are a good fit for such a large library!

Ii have many favorite authors. These past few months I have been reading books by Beth Wiseman. I enjoy reading stories about the Amish and she does a fantastic job!

Hi, Beth. I’m not familiar with Ms. Wiseman’s work. I was a Hospice nurse in Ohio and had many Amish patients in Holmes County. Very fond memories and learned so much!
