Re: Change Of Heart (1:51pm July 10, 2015):

Here in England we don't have any Amish communities. I like the way the books are written with their faith intertwined seamlessly and without being too preachy which can be off putting. Amish romance with its gentleness and serenity is a welcome contrast to the explicitness of today's contemporary romance.

Favourite event??? The RNA conference last year in Telford. It was an eye opener!

I could do with staying in a hotel surrounded by books and only having to lift my finger to order tea and biccies! xx

Re: A Plain Man (11:48am April 18, 2014):

In England, we don't have the Amish. I love reading about this way of life. I really love the way they are so happy with what they have and that they aren't participating in this 'want and throwaway' society. Amish romances are refreshing and I particularly like their morals

Re: Christmas Quilt (11:05am October 20, 2013):

In England we haven't got the Amish communities you have in the States. I very much enjoy the Christian romances and Vanetta's are particularly inspiring and not in 'your face' like some others are. Would love to win the book and the ornament. It would be something to cherish and pass onto my daughter.

Re: The Return Of The Stranger (2:48am November 22, 2011):

Love your books Kate. You are such a prolific writer and I would be proud and honoured to have one of your signed books gracing my bookshelf. Hope I win! (psst if not could I have one anyway please?)
