About the author:  Delinda McCann

Delinda McCann is a social psychologist who has worked in the field of developmental disabilities for over twenty years.  She has served on committees for the state of Washington and been an educational advisor to other governments.  Her work has earned her the praise of doctors, government officials and families all over the world.  She has published numerous articles on disability issues, education, and adoption. Her unique perspective and sense of humor have delighted her readers even when she has been writing about the reality of caring for a loved one who has a severe disability.  When the world turns crazy, as it frequently does for the disability community, her friends say there is nobody they would rather laugh and cry with.

 Delinda lives a on a small farm near Seattle, WA where she raised her daughters and now runs a small organic flower business with the help of her husband and two giant poodles.  She enjoys singing with her church choir and playing the piano-poorly. A brush with cancer made her realize that she needed to slow down, so she turned to writing fiction inspired by her behind-the-scenes experiences of advocating for and loving the people who are just a little bit different. 

            


Lies That Bind By Delinda McCann

Picture
President Jake Jaconovich is the second president elected under the new constitution of an emerging nation.  He and his party are working to bring rule of law, human rights and economic stability to a country formerly run on a system of extortion, exploitation, bribes and gang warfare.  Problems with rioters and terrorism are epidemic in his country extending even into his own household.  Everything he says in private, every random thought or jest gets blown out of proportion and reported to the worst of the opposition press. 

Celia Louise Jones-McKinsey is an ex-schoolteacher.  She has become a hostage in her own home as she cares for a husband with dementia.  She knows she is exhausted from taking care of others.  She was a caregiver long before her husband became ill as she raised his son with multiple disabilities.  She is beginning to think that her life of caring for others is destroying her body and soul.  What Celia fails to realize is that her web site on caring for dementia patients has come to the attention of President Jake.

The story opens when President Jake makes a special stop in Victoria BC to visit Celia.  After the initial awkwardness of their first meeting Jake and Celia find that they have much in common including a mutual physical attraction.  When Celia is finally free for a week to visit Jake’s country, he seduces her into bringing her senile husband and moving to his country by introducing her to the plight of the children orphaned by the recent economic crash.  Celia leaves her home to escape her life and family and to be with Jake.  When she settles into her new home she finds one hundred six children, nine puppies, a serial bomber, numerous rioters, a snitch, a slave trader, a passion for football, a plethora of helicopters and a host of characters to keep things lively.

At one point Celia asks Jake if their lives will ever be ordinary.  He answers, “We’ve had the occasional breakfast together or dinner in our rooms that is ordinary.”

“And between breakfast and dinner?”  Celia asks.

“All hell breaks loose.”  Jake acknowledges.
