Kristin Billerbeck http://www.kristinbillerbeck.com/
The queen of the Christian chick lit genre. Where it all began, ladies. My favorite book(s): The Ashley Stockingdale series and The Spa Girls series.
Allison Gappa Bottke http://www.godallowsuturns.com/
Ali is amazing! Do you have a jogging partner that is always two steps ahead of you and challenges you to step outside your comfort zone? That’s my Ali. I’ve probably learned more from her—panting and sweating—of the practical side of proposals and marketing than anyone. She is talented, driven and hungry for whatever God is going to do next. Love you, Ali. My favorite book(s): God Allows U-Turns series, You Can’t Do It All and A Stitch in Time.
Mindy Starns Clark http://www.mindystarnsclark.com/mindy.html
Can you say, “Fun and Informative”? I’m new to Mindy’s books, but I’ve been devouring them, well, like chocolate. She’s also in our Philly American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) group. My favorite book(s): The Tulip series.
Brandilyn Collins http://www.brandilyncollins.com/index.html
Ohmigosh, wanna stay up all night reading thrillers that will make you sleep with the lights on? You’ll love her like I do! My favorite book(s): too many to list, but I’ll start with The Hidden Faces series
Ted Dekker http://www.teddekker.com/
Ted can creep you out pretty quickly. I’d always prided myself in being able to figure out who dunnit pretty early in most novels. Ted got me as a forever fan when he zinged me with Three. I had 2/3’s figured out, but that last third . . . woo-hoo! My favorite book(s): most all his books, Three, and Black, Red and White series
Eva Marie Everson http://www.evamarieeverson.com/
Eva Diva is a Southern Belle in the truest sense. Any writers out there? She taught me more about dialog in the shortest period of time, than anyone else. She also has a deep love for Israel. See why I love her? My favorite book(s): The Shadow Series, The Potluck series, co-authored with Linda Evans Shepherd.
Robin Jones Gunn http://www.sisterchicks.com/
I haven’t read her other books, but the chick lit books were cathartic to me. As a Type A personality, I don’t do real well in the relationship arena. Robin’s Sisterchick series helped me get in touch with my sisterhood-side. My favorite book(s): The Sisterchick series.
Randy Ingermanson http://www.rsingermanson.com/
I’ve yet to see an author so driven to teach writing and marketing. His website is a veritable gold-mine for authors. Randy’s writing is pithy and hilarious. He also is a regular visitor to a Messianic synagogue, so we know some of the same people. How can I not love an author whose main characters in one series were Messianic Jews. Or, that he was able to get my engineer husband’s nose out of a tech magazine and into a novel. My favorite book(s): City of God series and Double Vision.
Neta Jackson http://www.daveneta.com/
Do love her transparency and open heart. My favorite book(s): The Yada Yada Prayer Group series.
Siri Mitchell http://www.sirimitchell.com/
I can’t believe how young she is. But my favorite book of hers impacted my life in a powerful way. Watch for Siri, everyone. My favorite book(s): Kissing Adrien.
Gayle Roper http://www.gayleroper.com/
Gail is a new favorite author--though she's been writing a long time. She can nail a mystery with a power stapler at twenty paces. I’m in awe. I’ll be reading all Gayle’s books! My favorite book(s): Allah’s Fire.
Carrie Turansky http://www.carrieturansky.com/
The den mother of the Philly ACFW group. Carrie is relative new to the fiction realm, however, you’ll be seeing more of her. Her soft-spoken manner—both in writing and in-person—will only cushion the powerful impact she serves on issues many have not touched. She’s also the one I run to when I need someone to kiss my writing boo-boos. My favorite book(s): Along Came Love and Wedded Bliss.
Linda Windsor http://www.lindawindsor.com/
The den mother of the Delaware ACFW group. Linda has a heart as wide as the moon. She’s funny and so incredibly talented, sometimes when she lectures, I have to remember to swallow. I’m new to her writing, though she has been a successful author in both the ABA and CBA markets. Enjoying getting to know both her and her writing. My favorite book(s): The Moonstruck series.
