Once upon a time, USA Today best-selling author Loree Lough sang for her supper, performing before packed audiences throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Her stories have earned thousands of 5-star reviews, 100 + industry and Readers’ Choice awards, and 7 book-to-movie options. At last count, nearly 13M copies of Loree’s books were in circulation, and by year-end 2020, she’ll have 123 books on the shelves. She and her husband split their time between their home in Baltimore’s suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, where she continues to hone her “identify the critter tracks” skills.

USA Today Bestselling Author Nancy Mehl’s novels have an added touch – something for your spirit as well as your soul. Nancy welcomes the opportunity to share her faith through her writing. Nancy says, “God is number one in my life. I wouldn’t be writing at all if I didn’t believe that this is what He’s called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan for your life, and there is nothing you can’t overcome with His help.”
