James Rubart has written a stellar debut novel that will take your breath away! ROOMS captured me from the start and I am still pondering its implications months after finishing the book. Seriously, it is that good!
Enjoy this spotlight on Micah. Over to you, Jim:~

Creative, spontaneous, smart, passionate. Angry deep down, sometimes sarcastic, moves at a frantic pace.

More cream than coffee when he needs a java fix.
Your inspiration for the character
One third a friend of mine, one third Tom Cruise’s character in Jerry McGuire, one third me.
Background to the story
It’s the story of a young Seattle software tycoon who inherits a home on the Oregon Coast that t
urns out to be a physical manifestation of his soul.
It’s the Twilight Zone meets It’s a Wonderful Life. Then mix in some of The Matrix, C.S. Lewis, My Heart, Christ’s Home, Wild at Heart, Disney’s The Kid, some romance … mix them all together and you get ROOMS.
Appreciate this, Jim! Can’t wait to get my hands on your next novel 🙂
On Thursday, the spotlight shines on Siri Mitchell’s Clara Carter from her new release, She Walks in Beauty. Don’t miss it!
