A Book Twenty Years in the Making

By

As Tammy shared in her post last week, I am thrilled that finally, finally, Breath of Heaven, the third and final novel in the Camfield Legacy series is available to order in both print and ebook formats! (Also, if you read via Kindle Unlimited, Breath of Heaven is available there, plus, the audiobook will be available later this year.)

The first two novels in the series, Beneath a Southern Sky and After the Rains, were first published by WaterBrook Press twenty years ago. When I got the rights back to those books, we re-released them through Raney Day Press with these beautiful new covers my husband designed, but through the years, I had dozens and dozens of requests for “the rest of the story” for Natalie Camfield and David Chambers. That book is finally a reality and I’m so pleased with how it turned out.

If you read the books when they first came out, you may remember these book covers, all from WaterBrook Press:

I want to give a huge thank-you to my husband whose talents as a designer and all-around jack of all trades, not to mention my best encourager, make all this possible. In the photo below, he’s in his office “pulling the trigger” on getting Breath of Heaven available for purchase.

Now, I’m taking a few weeks off to organize my office, read some books just for fun, and catch up on all I missed while I was on deadline. But I’m excited, too, for the next book! And more on that in a later post.

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 books later, she's still creating stories that touch hearts and lives. Her novels have won RWA's RITA Award, the ACFW Carol Award, the National Readers Choice Award, and the HOLT Medallion. She is also a three-time Christy Award finalist. Deb is on faculty for several national writers’ conferences and served on the executive board of the 2,500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for 18 years before retiring in 2022. She is a recent transplant to Missouri, having moved with her husband, Ken Raney, from their native Kansas to be closer to kids and grandkids. They love road trips, e-biking, Friday garage sale dates, and breakfast on the screened porch overlooking their wooded backyard.

  4. Congratulations and Thank You!
    I had no idea that there would be a third book until a few days ago. As a member of Karen Witemeyer’s The Posse, I read the first two books for the reading challenge. In May I read Beneath A Southern Sky (a book where the heroine is a mom) and in June I read After the Rains ( a book with a body of water on the cover). I truly enjoyed the first two books in the series and I am looking forward to reading A Breathe of Heaven!

  5. Hi Deb! The covers are wonderful and the series so good – can’t wait for this third book! At our library we have the series in Large print. Will this third book be available that way so we can have all 3? Enjoy your time off!
