The Plot Thickens | Karen Ball

By

Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares with our readers a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.

Karen Ball has been writing stories since she was a little girl. The first novel in her Family Honor series, Shattered Justice, won the Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award. Karen’s love of all things nature came from her mother and father, who raised pansies and roses, respectively. As a result, Karen’s garden has an abundance of both flowers, and she loves creating bouquets from her garden to fill the house with the sweet fragrances. The color and aroma are a definite inspiration to her as she writes. Karen and husband, Don, live in Oregon with their two “kids”: Dasha, a mischievous Siberian husky, and Dakota, an Aussie-Terrier mix rescue dog. Visit Karen’s website at www.karenballbooks.com.

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.

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.

  1. I’m a lucky girl, since I get to visit this writer and her garden on occasion. And her cherry tree. Oh my goodness. What a treat–just like she is.
