I recently read a novel written by Katie Ganshert called Wildflowers from Winter.

The Tainted Coin – a Kregel review
Medieval fiction has never taken my interest in the past.

Love Finds You in Glacier Bay Alaska – a Launch Teammate review
I was honored to be selected to be a Launch Teammate for Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska, a novel written by authors Tricia Goyer & Ocieanna Fleiss.I always find it extremely fascinating when I read a book that is co-authored.

I often wonder, "Does one person do the writing and the other edit or do they swap chapters and equally write?" And of course there ...
Wildflowers from Winter – a Waterbrook Multnomah review
It's not too often that I read something emotional that doesn't leave me disheartened. I don't like novels that have horrific loss, grief, pain. Real life has enough of that, and I prefer to lose myself in something light . . . and hopeful. Wildflowers from Winter, written by Katie Ganshert, is one of those books that has grief and loss. The difference with this book, though, is that the characters feel real, and Katie doesn't write the grief so that you feel like you've had your heart ripped ...
