Heather Greer - Multi-published Author

Bio - Heather Greer has always loved stories. With a mom who worked in a Christian bookstore, that love was fed on Christian authors whose stories she devoured. Heather knew from childhood that she wanted to create stories and characters for others to enjoy, and as she grew up, Heather knew her stories would be faith-filled like the ones that influenced her own relationship with God. Heather is blessed to use her God-given passion for reading and writing to give readers Living Faith, one story at a time.

Heather is a preacher's kid and pastor's wife from southern Illinois. Her newly emptied nest provides Heather with more time for reading and writing the stories she loves and antiquing with her husband. When she's not doing those things, you'll probably find her crafting, baking, or wrestling forbidden objects away from their rambunctious puppy.

Blurb - When rules and tools designed to improve our writing and productivity don’t work for us, we wonder–is adequate all we can achieve? Did God provide what we need for success? Is writing the wrong path for us?

God designed us uniquely, from passions to personalities. We’re not cookie-cutter people. Why do we aspire to be cookie-cutter writers? And does clinging to individuality mean rules don’t apply?

With scripture as our base, You Write You provides insight into our God-given design. It encourages exploration of the heart of writing aids and teaches us how to combine both elements. Together, we will discover how honoring the heart brings freedom to write as God created us to write.

Kim Garee - Ohio author - Together series

The couple has three grown children and three grown pets. Kim is also a portrait artist and miniature enthusiast who will hike and bike with anyone willing to go with her.

Book Blurb - On the day of her sister’s wedding, Rosie Graham and all the guests find themselves snowed in by the holiday blizzard of 1946 at the last place she wants to be: the inn owned by Fairchild Resorts at Buckeye Lake. Instead of preparing for Christmas at home, she must dodge her summer sweetheart from a decade ago and pray no one guesses the secret she has kept ever since.

That fateful summer, Rosie allowed herself to be talked into the biggest compromise of her life by Keith, the Fairchild heir. She refuses to call that compromise a mistake because it resulted in her son, Charlie. Even though the stigma she’s lived under as a result now may block her from adopting a little girl who desperately needs her love.

But don’t expect a holiday romance that reunites former sweethearts.

Gabe Adams, Keith’s best friend and the Fairchilds’ business manager, is spending the holidays with the Fairchilds at the resort. He has come to the lake with a proposal in mind: a power match that has nothing to do with a single mother and artist, but rather her best friend, fashionable, clever, ambitious Dot Berkeley.

The chaos of the wedding guests invading the sleepy hotel mirrors the chaos in Gabe’s heart as his plans unravel, even as Rosie fears she has no faith in her own heart as she’s drawn to him.

Rosie and Gabe tell themselves the whole mess may simply stem from the unpredictability of the weather or the sentimentality of the holidays. As soon as the wedding guests can leave the hotel, their lives will return to normal.

But do they want to return to normal and the plans they’ve made?

They’ll both need a great deal of discernment to step out in faith for this kind of love.
