Author’s Note

This is the third book I’ve written using Kate and Laura as the matchmakers, so some of the characters have appeared in one of my other novels.

This one is different, though. This is partly autobiographical, without the hunky hero. (darn!) The stories about Mae really happened to my mother, Iona Mae Kohler. My father lost his battle with cancer. Please don’t think this is a sad story though, it’s like life: happy, sad, and funny, sometimes all at once.

When I had this almost half finished, I had the idea to put more of my personal faith into this book. I checked the guidelines for Christian romance novels and I respected them, but I decided not to change what I had written to conform to those guidelines. I believe that not every Christian is perfect; they have human frailties, needs and desires. Even good Christians can feel passion.

To me, the trick is how you use those feelings and what’s in your heart. So if you think this book is too preachy, please try to understand; if you feel this book is too sexy, please forgive me.

The way I see it, if half of you think it’s too preachy and half of you think it’s too sexy, I’ve hit my goal.
