The Plot Thickens|Cynthia Ruchti

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

Taking multi-tasking to new heights (or depths, depending on your perspective), Cynthia Ruchti makes potato corn chowder for her husband of over 40 years, loves on her three kids and five grandchildren, recently retired after 33 years of writing and producing a daily radio broadcast called The Heartbeat of the Home. Cynthis is past president of the 2700-member American Christian Fiction Writers and now serves as ACFW’s Professional Relations Liaison. Her debut novel, They Almost Always Come Home, was a Carol Award finalist. All My Belongings will be released in 2014. Cynthia and her husband enjoy the views from their breezy porch in the heart of Wisconsin. Learn more at  www.cynthiaruchti.com.

Weather permitting, Cynthia abandons her office in favor of the porch or deck.
