Jerri Lynn Ledford and Joseph Courtemanche both write fabulous mystery/suspense/thriller novels, and both are working toward releasing book #2 in their respective series. I do wish they’d hurry up and release them!
I met Jerri around eight years ago shortly after I joined American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW). She was assigned to my critique group along with Shannon Taylor Vannatter and Lorna Seilstad. I do believe God brought the four of us together. (Read more about Shannon and Lorna tomorrow.) Jerri was very instrumental in convincing me to publish my romance series, having worked on both Risking Love and Capturing Beauty. Without her keen insight, these books would still be languishing on my computer.
Once you meet Joe Courtemanche, you’ll never forget him as he’s definitely a larger-than-life personality! I met him through our Minnesota chapter of ACFW, and have grown to greatly respect him. Being a fabulous storyteller is only a small part of who he is. No one gives back to his community more than Joe, whether he’s working as Santa Claus, praying for all the children he meets, or serving hot meals to those down on their luck (and he does soooo much more!), Joe shines Jesus’ light. I am very privileged to know him.
About Jerri ~
Growing up a military brat meant Jerri Ledford traveled a lot, and read a lot. It was only natural that her love of reading would eventually turn into a love of writing. From the first play that she wrote for neighborhood kids while her family was stationed on the military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to her career writing fiction and non-fiction, Jerri has always had a love affair with words. These days, Jerri spends much of her time as a Content Project Manager and fiction writer, but when she’s not pounding away at the keyboard, she spends as much time as possible with her grown children and Sampson, the 80 lb. Bull Mastiff rescue she fell in love with.

I love Terri Blackstock books. I also love Joel Rosenberg books too.
Both excellent authors!
I’m not much of a mystery/suspense/thriller type of person, but I did enjoy reading Agatha Christie when I was younger. I should get back to reading her novels again. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone.
You’re welcome, Debbie! Thanks for entering!
