What a lovely thing Valentine’s Day is—a whole day set aside
especially for sharing love, remembering those we love in special ways, and
celebrating love. But of course, just one day isn’t nearly enough to share our
love and appreciation for friends, family and all the people in our lives who
mean so much to us.
Sharing love every day is one of my goals as a writer. That’s
why I find that whether I’m writing mystery, romance, or history, my stories
all have an element of love in them. No matter what the story is, it’s about people—and
what could possibly be more important to people in any circumstance than love—both
human and divine?
That’s why, of the 50-some books I’ve written, my Where There
is Love series is still one of my very favorites. These are true stories of
faith and love, recounting the early, formative years in the lives of men and
women who went on to shape the religious life of 18th and 19th
century England.

Times and circumstances change, but love abides.
May you have a beautiful Valentine’s Day sharing love with
all around you.
I absolutely love your Where There Is Love series. Each volume is a treasure, but Where Love Calls is especially moving.
