My introduction to Kristen Heitzmann was through her most recent contemporary romantic suspense novel The Edge of Recall and I loved it. When I found out that she also had previously written a series in my favorite genre of Christian Historical Fiction I added it to my TBR list. Then I discovered that Bethany House was going to re-release the series with beautiful new covers and I could not wait to get my hands on the series! After reading the first novel, I am glad that I did. Originally published in 2000, now being re-released in 2010.

  Though I am a prolific reader especially in the historical and fantasy genres of fiction, from time to time I find a contemporary fiction or something else outside my normal reading patterns that I end up loving just as much. Jenna Callahan has been faced with lots of change and the consequences of choices made as a very young woman. When the man who has loved her from a distance since they were teenagers returns from a tour of duty in the Middle East, her father relents from his adamant insistence that Nate Langley was less than his only daughter deserved. However Nate has some skeletons in his personal closet after active duty in the military during the US War on Terror. His potential father-in-law told Nate he was unworthy of his "princess" and chased him off before the two were out of high school. Jenna’s father instead pushed her into marriage with a sports star.

Danette, describe yourself for our visitors.

I am a single mother, who also happens to be an evangelist with a call to preach the Gospel. I founded Joy Ministries, an evangelistic outreach ministry that ministers salvation and restoration to the needy. Joy in the Morning, my weekly television program, allows me to bring a word of encouragement into the hearts and homes of millions of hurting people. I am passionate about God and I am passionate about what He has called me to do.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I don’t find time; I make time to connect with God. There are hundreds of things vying for my time and yours, but the honest truth is that we make time for what is really important to us. I cannot function without being in the presence of God and hearing His voice. He is my joy and the source of my strength! Daily, I rise early to seek God first in prayer, worship, and the Word.

Leanna, describe yourself for our visitors. 

I’m a wife to a fabulous man! I’m also a mom to a couple of great kids, and I’m usually trying to figure out what to fix for dinner, how to get the house cleaned, and trying to remember when to pick up which child from which activity. I’m also a writer with a lot of imaginary people rummaging around in my brain.

How do you find time to connect with God?

It’s a priority. I have to make the time. It’s usually early in the morning. I have a room upstairs in my house where I go before anyone else is awake. During the day it’s usually a mad dash from here to there, or I’m trying to put words on the page, but I often pray during the day. Sometimes at night, I need to go back to that ‘upper’ room and spend more time with the Lord.

Gentlemen, describe yourselves to our visitors.

We three co-authors of Bo’s Café grew up in three different regions of the USA with vastly divergent backgrounds. But, eventually, all three of us stumbled into the same trap. We got tricked into the snare that says, “If you are ever going to keep from getting hurt in this life, and if you you’re ever going to reach your dreams, you’ve got to protect yourself, because no one else will or can.” This is a crock of con.
