Wishing you a merry, blessed Christmas!

December 25, 2023 By Deborah Raney

Because it’s Christmas today, I’ll keep this short, but just wanted to let you know how very much we appreciate those who read and comment on our blog! Writing is sometimes a solitary pursuit and especially for those of us who are extroverts, we cherish the times we get to interact with our readers!

So, from our house to yours, we pray that you have a beautiful and blessed Christmas with loved ones and that the peace of Christ reigns in your hearts during the holidays and throughout the new year to come!

And I’ll take this one last chance to let you know about a Christmas collection that is out new this year (a new, gorgeous cover designed by my husband, but stories you may have read in other collections of Christmas stories I’ve written.) If you’d like to order a copy, just click HERE, or on the book cover below.

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.
