God Gave The Song (2009)
Skye has spent his entire life dealing with abandonment issues. But as an adult, he's finally happy...until the day he gets a call from a lawyer saying his hippie mother, Hannie, is in a coma. When Skye shows up on Hannie's alpaca ranch as the surprised and hostile heir apparent, Ruthanne struggles to believe that her wonderful employer could be the same woman who caused the pain in Skye's eyes. Will Skye and Ruthanne allow their unforgiveness to keep them bound and unfulfilled, or will God use a strange situation to heal their past hurts and anger?

Florida Weddings (2008)
IF YOU MISSED MERELY PLAYERS, YOU MAY READ IT IN THIS COMPILATION OF THREE STORIES DUE OUT IN SPRING 2008! THE OTHER FINE AUTHORS FEATURED IN THIS BOOK ARE LYNN COLEMAN AND KRISTY DYKES.

These fast-paced, simmering Florida romances are the perfect read while relaxing on the beach or reclining on the couch. Here you'll encounter the stories of three very different women. Renee Austin, accused of crimes she didn't commit, finds her relationship and reputation in jeopardy. Jeris Waldron and her wounded heart seem unprepared to take on a readymade family. Bethany Hamilton, haunted by death and loss, cannot seem to escape her past, no matter where she hides. Do these three females have the faith and the fortitude to follow their hearts under the Floridian sun?

Love Letters (2007)
Four generations of women find love through the written word in unconventional ways: A sheet of music, fortune cookies, Post-It Notes, and messages left on Ebay. My story is "Cookie Schemes", about a modern young woman in 1955 who wants to join the world of business. When she meets a traditional cookie maker, who must find a wife to fulfill his grandfather's legacy, she finds he is wooing her with the scriptures he puts in the fortune cookies. The other fine authors in this collection are Mary Davis, Sally Laity, and Jeri Odell.

Merely Players (2006)
When a dolphin trainer is reunited with her first love, now an A-list actor, she masks her emotions while making him jump through hoops to win back her affections. All the world's a stage and all people are merely players, but God is the director.

About Kathleen E. Kovach
I'm one of those people who has known all my life that I wanted to write. I dabbled for years while raising two sons and following my Air Force hubby around the globe. Then in 2002, after much whining, foot stomping, breath holding until I turned blue...oh yeah, and prayer, God gave me the desire of my heart and set me on the publishing journey. This happened at the Colorado Christian Writers Conference where I won first place in the unpublished contest. When I received my certificate, I could hear God clapping, cheering me on like the proud Daddy that He is. Then in my spirit, He said, "What are we going to write next?" This thrilled me to my socks because I realized then that I had the most awesome Writing Partner that I could ask for. My tag line is "Spiritual Truth With A Giggle". My desire is for my readers to giggle through my books while discovering the spiritual truths God has placed there.

On a personal note: I'm a grandma to three beautiful children! Click on "Giggling Grandma" in my photos under my pic.

On another writer note: I'm the Rocky Mountain Zone Director for American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW). Please visit my Website to see how to join this awesome organization.
