Catch
Us if You CAN: Spring Scavenger Hunt! STOP #5, Anne Greene’s
Blog.
Here are the CAN Hunt’s official guidelines:
Welcome, Hunters! I'm
pleased to introduce Kathy Harris at this stop. Kathy, your website says you
took a “divine detour.” What does that mean? Hi, Anne! I think we’ve all taken a “divine
detour” in life—probably quite a few of them. My biggest detour was moving to
Nashville after college to work in the entertainment business. Since then, I’ve
enjoyed a long career in music marketing, but about a dozen years ago I decided
to get back to writing, my first creative passion.
BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH TRAFFIC, I'M OFFERING THREE EXTRA CHANCES TO WIN ONE OF THREE EXTRA BOOKS TO ANYONE WHO JOINS THIS BLOG AS A FOLLOWER AFTER FOLLOWER #41. THAT'S SIX EXTRA CHANCES!

Tell me about your Christian fiction debut. The Road to Mercy is a story about forgiveness…and of God’s unprecedented love and mercy
for us all. Wouldn’t it be great if we could love and forgive each other—or
even ourselves—like that?
I understand you’ve also been published in a few
non-fiction anthologies. I have. Building a fiction career is a long, but interesting journey.
Along the way, I’ve been honored to contribute to several non-fiction books,
including Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Thanks,
Mom, Tyndale House’s The One Year
Life Verse Devotional, and Thomas Nelson’s All My Bad Habits I Learned from Grandpa.
Want to know more about Kathy? She would love for you to
friend her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/KathyHarrisAuthor
or follow her on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/divinedetour.
And you can read more about The Road to
Mercy at www.kathyharrisbooks.com.
Thank you, Kathy! CAN hunter, are you
ready to continue?

ReplyDeleteHi Lora, good to have a student visit. What's your major?
DeleteEnjoying the hunt so far. Your books sounds interesting. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, lovely first name! My book is tied for a prestigious award. April will announce the winner. So I'm optimistic you would love Marriage By Arrangement.
DeleteLadies, it's so good to see new readers here as well as old friends. I think you will all become winners somewhere along the way during the Hunt, And discovering new authors makes you all winners. Hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteIt would be such a joy for me, ladies, if you would join my blog. No strings.
ReplyDeleteI always love arranged marriage books, somehow I find when a couple CHOOSES to love each other it can be more romantic and precious then the usual "fall in love" so I look forward to your book and would love to win a copy :)
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you! You will definitely love this romance. I hope you will become a follower and will win one of the three books I'm giving away.
DeleteYour books sounds really interesting! Would they be okay reading for a high-schooler or are they more for adults?
ReplyDelete~Angie~
A high-schooler will be a most welcome reader. This is a Christian book with high morals and contains an implicit lesson, not preachy, on the value of marriage. Nothing you would not want a high-schooler to read. Thanks for asking.
DeleteLove my Scottish heritage and anything Scottish!
ReplyDeleteI join you in loving our Scottish heritage. I also love the land and its people. Do you know your clan?
ReplyDeleteOh this looks so good and my favorite genre! I have not read anything by you yet, so am eager to!
