Jane Interviews...
Meg Moseley...
Recently, I discovered new author Meg Moseley and her book When Sparrows Fall. I just conducted an interview with her that I hope you find interesting... click here.
"My novella The Courting Quilt is part of a New York Times bestseller collection called A Log Cabin Christmas. Nine authors contributed pieces and the work was reviewed as a collection meaning all the stories were strong within their own right. Great joy for risking the work of a novella (20,000 words) and in the genre of a light romance. I hope you'll look for this book as a great gift for Christmas!" Jane Kirkpatrick

"Jane Kirkpatrick is a wonderful writer who creates a story full of strong, admirable characters with human flaws. Clara and Helga come to life with dimension and depth pulling us into their world. I walked across the country with them, experienced their triumph and disappointment, and faced the shattered, angry family when they returned. Jane has given readers a wonderful story of a family schism that comes full circle to love and grace and the importance of family, especially when one has been an outcast. I highly recommend The Daughter’s Walk!" Francine Rivers, New York Times Bestselling Author.

"As I read I fell in love with these two women. I hurt for them, giggled at them, and found myself routing [sic] for their success. After Helga and Clara arrived home I was surprised at the direction the book took, and I was both proud and disheartened at how they both decided to make their way–most specifically, how they handled the repercussions of their journey together."Heather L. Saunders
