Reader Calls Book of Hours 'Glorious Mind Candy'

Heidi writes:

I woke up this morning and had the joy of reading your blog post about the Acts of Faith series… Thank you for giving the historical background of this time period. Your in-depth research is one of the many aspects of your books that I so truly enjoy.

I think one of your first novels I read was The Meeting Place and I've now gone through and savored each of them since…some multiple times!  I keep a well-stocked library of Christian fiction…so well stocked that several of my friends' husbands call me their wives' "book pimp"!

I am a non-fiction writer and am absolutely drawn to the way God has gifted you to use words. Each book is unique in how it captures me. In The Book of Hours, for instance, your writing seemed more about creating each scene and emotion perfectly and there were moments where I got caught up in the sheer pleasure of the words over the actual story line. Your creative genius and use of language made reading it like experiencing glorious mind candy page after page!

Dear Heidi,

I'm thrilled to learn of your enjoyment of my books, and appreciation for the research that underlies the structure and story. This positioning within place and time is a crucial component for me, both in my own work and in the fiction I most enjoy.

Dear Vickie,

I'm thrilled that you found this to be a solid and enjoyable story, especially as it remains one of my own personal favorites.
