And now let's revisit with novelist Martha Rogers, author of Love Never Fails (Realms, November 2014).

Martha Rogers is a free-lance writer and was named Writer of the Year at the Texas Christian Writers Conference in 2009 and writes a weekly devotional for ACFW.

Martha and her husband Rex live in Houston where they enjoy spending time with their grandchildren. A former English and Home Economics teacher, Martha loves to cook and experimenting with recipes and loves scrapbooking when she has time.

She has written three series, Winds Across the Prairie and Seasons of the Heart and The Homeward Journey. Book three in that series, Love Never Fails, released in November, 2014.

Please tell us three random things we might not know about you.

--I was a nursing student before I changed majors to become a Home Economics major in college.

--I took piano lessons for almost 4 years, but I don’t play the piano today.

--I busted my left knee when I was 14 playing football with the boys in my neighborhood.

Just shows how many of our plans "today" may not necessarily play out as we expect! 

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Love Never Fails.

When differences in beliefs about guns and violence drive Stefan and Molly apart, they can see no solution or compromise.

Then a hostage situation changes Molly’s mind, but it may be too late for a war injury has sent Stefan into retreat from life. It takes Molly’s faith and love for Stefan to show him God’s love never fails and will help Stefan overcome the injury that ended his military career.

What is it about Molly that will make your readers care about her?

Molly is headstrong and opinionated, but her faith in God drives her and teaches her that her opinions and attitudes are not always right, and she is willing to listen and make the changes.

If the sky were the limit, what is one writing-related gift you would love to receive for Christmas?

If money were no object, I would want an all expense paid conference, preferable the ACFW one or Mount Hermon.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

The last novel I read was When Night Comes by Dan Walsh. I recommend it because it’s Dan and he’s a great writer. However, this is a departure from his usual stories, and I truly became caught up in the story and the plot that included twists and turns that kept me guessing.

What are you working on now?

I’m starting work on a new Christmas novel to be released in 2016. It will follow the family in my latest release for a Christmas in Stoney Creek.
