Sadie and Sophie Cuffe

Since Coming with Hartline they have signed a contract for their book Hard Country at Dancing With Bear Publications.

As siblings, Sadie & Sophie Cuffe bring the strength of a living sisterhood to their writing, as well as the spice of differing perspectives on everything from Sophie's Type-A need to exactly follow the recipe, to Sadie’s throwing it in reverse and backing up using mirrors...scary!  "The Girls" have written for Guideposts Magazine, AARP, REV, Horizon Magazine, God’s World Publications, Standard, Front Porch, UGP, DevoZine, Christian Ed, Maine Mountain Digest, and Bangor Daily News (2008 & 2010 Amy Award winner). Their Christian suspense ebook, Arrow That Flies (first in the Blood Brothers in Christ series), releases August 15, 2011, and their historical novel, Faith in the Shadows releases November 2011, from Desert Breeze Publishing.  They maintain a small farm in downeast Maine's Unorganized Territory and bring Jane-of-all-trades life experiences to their novels, writing squarely to the heart of real women who aren’t all 25-year-old Barbies in lbd’s and heels, but live life to the fullest in jeans and boots.  Some authors are like fireworks -- lots to see and hear - that's not the Cuffe sisters. They're more like fireweed which grows in poor places, but its roots go deep and it steadfastly sends its seeds floating to the winds, quietly reaching around the world. They're glad God blew them in this direction and they touched down in Terry Burns' virtual backyard.

  Normandie Ward Fischer -

Normandie and her husband Michael sail as evangelists wherever the Lord leads them on board Sea Venture, a 50-foot ketch that has been plying Pacific waters and the Sea of Cortez in recent years. She's been a sailor all her life, still plays with her sharpie, Puff, in coastal NC waters, and loves having graduated from dinghies to their on-the-water home. She studied sculpture in Italy and Washington, DC, taught sculpture and placed commissioned work in homes and offices all over the country before deciding that she really wanted to pursue her other love: writing. Having worked as an editor and technical writer, she found the transition to crafting fiction a stretch. She'd spent years paring. Now she had to enlarge, describe, manage dialogue. In the process, several novels found their way into the shredder, where they certainly belonged. Then she began a fun series, the partial of which won the Alpha Award for best new fiction at the Sandy Cove Christian Writers' Conference. But the whole wasn't quite Christian enough, said the editors. So she wrote an action memoir for actor, director, and producer Reza Fazeli entitled Survivor. It's a fun story full of murder, mayhem, and miracles, and is available in English at Amazon. Another  manuscript completed, and enter an agent whose enthusiasm promised much and delivered nothing, not even with a second new women's fiction story in her hands. Exit same agent, and now here Normandie is, in the hands of professionals. Such fun.  www.normandiefischer.com

He combined his clinical education and knowledge with the "education" he received as a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a nationally ranked Masters Track and Field competitor to create a program using an athletic as well as a medical approach for self-help physical rehabilitation. He says, "Because my patients have ranged from highly educated information seekers to less educated "just tell me what works" individuals, the book has sections that go in depth on explanations of the biology as well as sections that just hit the highlights. Along with detailed picture explanations of the program, I believe the contents of the book have something for everyone."

  Ruth Geisler

I'm a Christian day school teacher and author living in Aliso Viejo, California. I grew up devouring books and still do. My goal is to write lively, entertaining, and humorous fiction which will also let children know in a gentle way that Jesus loves them and will help them through any problem. During my early days of teaching, I wrote a great deal of curricular and devotional material for Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis. That led to my being asked to become head of the children's book department. When I got there, I found the book department had been closed for three years, was $300,000.00 in debt, and everyone who knew how to make a book had been fired! With God's blessing and a great marketing partner, I gradually came to be in charge of children's, family, devotional, and teacher resource books. By the time I left nine years later we were making 90 books a year and the book department showed a greater percentage of profit than any other segment in the publishing house. Now I'm back to my greatest love, teaching, writing, and California. I'm really looking forward to chatting online with other authors. The critiques and sparking of ideas will be invaluable.

  Claire Sanders

Since coming to Hartline has signed a contract for her novella Equally Yoked in their  A Quaker Christmas (9/1/11) with Barbour -  and New Garden's Inspiration in the Quakers of New Garden (4/1/12) Novella Collection with Barbour Publications.

 

After publishing a contemporary romance, Fresh Start, with The Wild Rose Press, Claire gave in to her conscience and turned her talent to inspirational romance. Once the burden of writing to please the masses was eased from her shoulders, Claire unearthed a flood of story ideas that centered around the challenges of living up to Christian ideals. Her current work-in-progress is about a terminally ill man who believes he must ease his way into heaven by seeking forgiveness from those he's wronged.  He sends his nephew to the house of his ex-wife's sister in order to ask her to visit him.  But she is visibly upset by the request and sends a one-line note to the dying man. I never told. The meaning of the enigmatic note and Christ's teaching about forgiveness are revealed as the nephew struggles with his loyalty to his uncle and his love for the young woman. Claire lives in the Houston area with her teenage daughter.   When she's not writing, you can find her working in the garden, walking her two very spoiled dogs, and dreaming of places to travel. Learn more about Claire at www.clairesandersbooks.com .

Since coming to Hartline has signed a contract for her novels Women of Valley View:Callie  and  Women of Valley View:Terri  with Harbourlight Books - 

“You gave up too soon.” Five words from an aspiring author that awakened a dream in my life I’d been trying to ignore. I’ve known for twenty-five years that this is what God called me to do, but I wanted to do it my way. My way didn’t work so well, so I hid my calling, and buried my dreams, for a lot of years. Then one day a new friend spoke those words to me and it was like a light bulb switched on in my heart and soul. Write for Me and do it My way. “OK,” says I, and here I am. I’ve fallen in love with the characters in my series. I hope I can pass those feelings along to my readers.  &n
