Galleys...gone!

I finished proofing galleys for Courting Cate today, my first in the Courtships of Lancaster County series with Bethany House. I'm so excited about this book! It's a retelling of "The Taming of the Shrew" and it was so much fun to write. I'll blog more about how I came up with the idea and how the series came to be in the weeks to come.

“I wonder how the foreign policies of the United States would look if we wiped out the national boundaries of the world, at least in our minds, and thought of all children everywhere as our own.”

I would love to win your book. I am currently recuperating from a total shoulder replacement, and am now facing surgery for a pinched nerve on the same side as this shoulder. I need some good reading, and your writings are the answer. Barbara Gauthier. [email protected]
