A MIRACLE OF HOPE - Ruth Reid - One Free Book, Plus Much More

About the author: Ruth Reid is a CBA and ECPA best-selling author of the Heaven on Earth series. She's a full-time pharmacist who resides in Florida with her husband and three children.


Welcome back, Ruth. God has really been moving in your writing life. What do you see on the horizon?
Lord willing, more books!

Tell us a little about your family.
My husband and I met in pharmacy school at Ferris State University. We have three children, Lexie, who is in college, Danny, who recently got his driver’s permit, and Sarah, who is thirteen and my prayer warrior. We also have two dogs. Zyvox, a Weimaraner and Lady Bird, a Jack Russell.

Has your writing changed your reading habits? If so, how?
Yes! I can’t seem to read a book without analyzing it. I think that’s from being involved with a critique group for so many years.

What are you working on right now?
I’m currently working on an Amish Christmas novella and A Woodland Miracle, book 2 in the Amish Wonders series.

What outside interests do you have?
I love photography and I’m learning how to quilt.
 
How do you choose your settings for each book?
I grew up in northern Michigan and love writing about places where I’ve either visited or lived.

 If you could spend an evening with one historical person, who would it be and why?
I would like to find out what it was like to step out of a boat in the middle of a storm and walking on water, so I would choose Peter. His journey of faith has always inspired me.

What is the one thing you wish you had known before you started writing novels?
I wished I had a better understanding of social media. I think it might not have seemed overwhelming if I would have blogged or had a website prior to being published. But just like writing, you have to start somewhere.

What new lessons is the Lord teaching you right now?
God’s timing is perfect, and He wants to lead us on the path He has placed before us. Sometimes, instead of taking baby steps, I run. Lately, I’ve been reminded that He never leaves my side, but I need to be mindful of the pace.

What are the three best things you can tell other authors to do to be successful?
1) Seek God and listen for His direction  
2) Join a godly critique group  
3) Set a realistic word count and write every day.

Tell us about the featured book.
A Miracle of Hope is an Amish romance about a pregnant, out of wedlock, woman who needs a fresh start and a man who needs someone to care for his deaf daughter. Neither of them is thrilled about a marriage of convenience, but they enter into the arrangement with a firm understanding—it isn’t about love—until someone breaks the rules.

Please give us the first page of the book.
Here is a link to be able to read the first two chapters.
