Deborah Raney dreamed of writing a book since the
summer she read Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books and discovered that a
Kansas farm girl could, indeed, grow up to be a writer. After a happy
twenty-year detour as a stay-at-home mom, Deb penned her first novel, A Vow
to Cherish, which won a Silver Angel Award and inspired the acclaimed World
Wide Pictures film of the same title. Since then, her books have won the RITA
Award, HOLT Medallion, ACFW Carol Award, National Readers' Choice Award, as well
as twice being finalists for the Christy Award. Deb teaches at writers'
conferences across the country. Her newest novel, After All, is the conclusion
to the three-book Hanover Falls Novels series from Howard/Simon & Schuster.
Deb and her husband, Ken Raney, love small-town life in their native Kansas––the
setting for many of Deb's novels. They have four children and four precious
grandchildren who all live much too far away. Visit Deb on the Web at www.deborahraney.com.
