Deborah Raney

DEBORAH RANEY's first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title and launched Deb's writing career. Forty-plus books later, she is a four-time Christy Award finalist, and her novels have won the ACFW Carol Award, Selah Award, RITA® Award, Foreword Indie Gold, and many others. Deb teaches at writers conferences across the country and served on the executive board of the 2500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for almost 18 years. With her husband, Ken Raney, she is a transplant to Southeast Missouri from their native Kansas. A few of her favorite things are: coffee mugs, rainy days, screened porches, empty journals, e-biking, Friday garage sale dates with her husband, houseplants in pretty pots, kaleidoscopes, memories of Paris, guacamole, colored pencils, and her fourteen grandkids in any combination (but especially one-on-one).
