Stories are journeys, and each story I write is a journey for me. Wherever you are in your journey, and whatever road you're traveling, I'm pleased you’ve stopped by to visit.
~ READY FOR RELEASE ~
My newest book, Within My Heart, a Timber Ridge Reflections novel, will be in bookstores in August. "Finally," you might be thinking. This book was a long time in coming, and I appreciate my publisher's patience as the story made its way to the written page. I appreciate my readers too, for your excitement about Rand and Rachel's story. To read a personal note about the release of this book, click here. To read an excerpt, click here. If you have a blog or website and would be interested in reviewing Bethany House books, and Within My Heart specifically, visit here.

If you have a moment, check out the trailer for From A Distance, the 2009 Christy Award Winner for Best Historical Romance:
For me, the greatest thrill of these writing journeys is when Christ reveals Himself in some new way and I take a step closer to Him. My deepest desire is that readers of my books will do the same—take steps closer to Him as they read. After all, it's all about Him!
Wishing you joy in your extraordinary journey,
