As the wife of a minister, Susan Downs has lived in towns, big and small, all around the world―from her childhood village in Oklahoma to such eclectic states as Indiana, Missouri, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Texas, and even in faraway lands like South Korea. And yet, no matter what her address, wherever her husband of forty-three years is, that's where she calls HOME. Currently, Susan resides in Texas and she is employed as a fiction editor for Guideposts Publications.
BIRDIE ETCHISON lives in Washington state and knows much about the Willamette Valley, the setting for the majority of her books. She loves to research the colorful history of the United States and uses her research along with family stories to create wonderful novels.
LINDA FORD draws on her own experiences living in the Canadian prairie and Rockies to paint wonderful adventures in romance and faith. She lives in Alberta, Canada, with her family, and she writes as much as her full-time job of taking care of a parapelgic and four kids, who are still at home, will allow. Linda says, 'I thank God that He has given me a full, productive life and that I'm not bored. I thank Him for placing a little bit of the creative energy revealed in His creation into me, and I pray I might use my writing for His honor and glory.'
