About the Author

Judy DuCharme is a crazy Packer fan and would rather be walking near the water than at any shopping mall. She is smarter than a fifth grader, having taught them for 22 years, specializing in fun, hands-on, basic science. In case anyone wondered, the cutest grandson in the world belongs to her. And he’s smart, too. Judy descended from the family that founded the first Mennonite/Amish congregation in this country in the mid-1700s. So, with such a heritage, she loves the Lord, loves to worship, and loves to teach Bible studies

More from Judy

Have you ever watched You Tube videos of cows giving birth? Well, I have. And that’s because Linney Merritt helped birth the calves in the late 1800s in mid-Florida. And that’s why she had no interest in giving birth herself. So when the new hand arrived, it turned her plans topsy-turvy, but she was not going to budge. With humor and tenacity, Linney and Cy learn to work together on her pa’s ranch and consider other possibilities.

Interview

What is the genre you write?

My football devotionals are non-fiction. Most of my books are historical fiction, though one is futuristic and one is suspenseful, and I have a children’s book.

What is one thing you hope readers will take away from your story? Always that they will realize that God is real and will certainly provide not just comfort in difficult times but will guide them into His perfect will.

Who are your favorite authors?

Bodie Thoene, Joel Rosenberg, Colleen Coble, Lynn Austin, Michelle Griep

How do you get your story ideas?

What advice can you give to writers trying to break into the publishing world? Get to a writer’s conference – that’s where you meet publishers, agents, editors in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. It’s also the place to hone your craft, and we all need improvement.

What qualities do you look for in a hero and heroine?

What do you plan to work on next? My ninth book releases in May 2022. It’s a sequel to my July 2020 release. I’m doing research and thinking on the third in the series and will bring in the characters from Run With the Wind as ancestors of present day characters.

If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?
