Bethany Turner has been writing since the second grade, when she won her first writing award for explaining why, if she could have lunch with any person throughout history, she would choose John Stamos. She stands by this decision. Bethany now writes pop culture–infused rom-coms for a new generation of readers who crave fiction that tackles the thorny issues of life with humor and insight. She lives in Southwest Colorado with her husband, whom she met in the nineties in a chat room called Disco Inferno. As sketchy as it sounds, it worked out pretty well in this case, and they are now the proud parents of two grown sons.

That really is like choosing your favorite child. Each novel is special to me in different ways for different reasons. Having said that...I’m pretty partial to Wooing Cadie McCaffrey. It was the first time I wrote from the perspectives of both the female and male leading characters. I had so much fun getting to know both Cadie and Will, and I loved sorting out their love story—as well as their faith story.(less)
Bethany Turner Hi Kenna! Thanks for the question. Some of my novels have that more overt faith thread, but the majority of them do not. Wooing Cadie McCaffrey and Th…moreHi Kenna! Thanks for the question. Some of my novels have that more overt faith thread, but the majority of them do not. Wooing Cadie McCaffrey and The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck have the strong Christian romance storylines. Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish is much more subtle, but the faith thread is strong. My others (Plot Twist, The Do-Over, Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other, Cole and Laila Are Just Friends, and Wes and Addie Had Their Chance) are more classified as clean romance than Christian romance, though as a Christian author, I always try to write from the worldview of that faith and those principles/morals. I hope that helps! Thanks again for reaching out.(less)

“I have memories, but I don’t know if they are really mine or if I’ve just seen so many pictures. I think that I remember riding on his sailboat with him, and playing under his desk in the Oval Office, but those images are everywhere, so do I really remember them or just imagine how it all happened?”
Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

“I lose keys because I never put any real effort into holding on to them, but I’ve spent most of my life trying to hold on to you, Phelps. I remember everything about you.”
Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

“I was done. I had loved my allotment. John, Chris, and Sergei. Those three men were the only men I would ever be in love with. I don’t think that Chris or I could have imagined at that moment, however, that never falling in love with anyone besides those three didn’t mean I would never fall in love again.”
Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

Bethany Turner, Scenes From Highland Falls

“For once in your life will you just shut up and listen to what that man’s heart is trying to say to you?”
Bethany Turner, Two Thousand Years

“I don't believe in positive thinking as a replacement for God but as a response to God. My goal isn't that you would see your metaphorical cup as half full: I want you to see it as constantly overflowing!”
Levi Lusko, I Declare War: Four Keys to Winning the Battle with Yourself

“Nothing so influences your life as your ability to control your spirit in the midst of volatile feelings and the madness of life.”
Levi Lusko, I Declare War: Four Keys to Winning the Battle with Yourself

“Of course people will try to take a bite out of you when you dare to do something great--for many of them it will be the only taste of greatness they will ever have!”
