Inspired by Life ... and Fiction

Novelists bound by the pen, sisterhood, & more

The Plot Thickens | Shannon Ethridge

October 5, 2014 By Deborah Raney

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.

Shannon Ethridge, author of To Know You says of her Texas garden, “Obviously we are flower gardeners, not vegetable gardeners!” Shannon is a million-copy best-selling author, international speaker, certified life coach, with a master’s degree in counseling/human relations from Liberty University. She has spoken to youth, college students, and adults since 1989. Although grateful for the opportunities to influence this generation as a writer and speaker, Shannon remains most passionate about her role as wife and best friend to her husband of 23 years, Greg, and mother and cheerleader to their two children, Erin and Matthew. For more about Shannon, go to www.shannonethridge.com.

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 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.

    There is something quaint and lovely about this one. More like I think my desk would be when I get one one of these days. Very lovely flowers, too.

    I love her office, it looks like my dream mix of homeschool bookshelves filled with great reads and a writing space with a view. Can’t wait to check out Shannon’s work. Thanks for the introduction.
