Hi, everybody. So glad you clicked in for a visit to get to know more about my books and me.

The Outsider, about a Shaker girl and a frontier doctor in the early 1800's, has gotten great response from readers everywhere.  You can check out what some of you said about it and my other books on my Readers Say page.  Good comments from reviewers at places like Library Journal, Romantic Times Magazine, Booklist are very welcome, but messages from readers that come from their hearts are the best reviews a writer can get.  If you haven't had a chance to read Gabrielle's story of forbidden love and new beginnings yet, check out more about the book and get a sneak peek at the first chapter by clicking on The Shaker Books.  You can find it in bookstores everywhere, at your favorite Internet bookseller, or maybe even your local discount store.  Plus if you're a member of Crossings Christian Book Club, Doubleday Book Club, or Literary Guild Book Club, you can pick The Outsider as one of your selections.

My next Shaker book, The Believer, will be out August 2009. That seems like a while, but you can already pre-order the book at some Internet bookselling sites.  The cover shown on those sites might not be the one on the book as the initial cover has been changed to the one posted here.  Click on the Shaker Books link to read more about the story.

Thanks all of you who have told me you had fun getting to know Jocie and her family in my Hollyhill Series. The Scent of Lilacs, the first book about Jocie, was one of Booklist's top ten Christian novels for 2006. The story continued in Orchard of Hope where in one of the hottest and driest summers ever in Hollyhill, Kentucky, Jocie and friends come face to face with the Civil Rights unrest of the mid-sixties. Then in Summer of Joy every knock on the door brings a new threat to my Hollyhill family's happiness. Each book is a stand-alone story, so jump in anywhere. You'll meet some lovable and quirky characters along the way that I hope will have you smiling and glad you met them.

You can purchase my books at your favorite bookstore. If they aren't on the shelf, they can order the books for you. You can also shop on-line through Christianbook.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or other on-line booksellers.

Angels at the Crossroads, one man's inspirational journey from wrongdoing to redemption, is my only non-fiction title. When Jerry Shepherd sang in the same gospel quartet as my husband, he'd talk about his story and the more I heard the surer I was that the Lord wanted me to write it down. Angels at the Crossroads was the result and Jerry's powerful story has changed some readers' lives. A great way to get an autographed copy of Angels at the Crossroads is at one of the Patriot Quartet's concerts where you can hear some toe-tapping Southern Gospel music. Jerry is also sharing his amazing testimony in word and song at many churches now and he'd love to come to your church. Both Jerry and/or I are available for talks for your church or organization. I enjoy sharing my writing experiences and giving inspirational talks centered on Bible stories. I also enjoy talking to book clubs, so if you want me to visit your book club, I'd love to come to your meeting if you are in the area or I can visit via phone if you aren't so near. Just click on the Contact link.

So thanks for stopping by. Come back often. I'll be keeping you up-to-date on news about my books, new book give-aways, and where you might come meet me in person. Don't forget to check out my blog to find out what's happening in my life. I usually post on Wednesdays and Sundays, so come on over and we'll talk. Plus you can click on Ann's Newsletter to sign up for my occasional newsletter.

Until we talk again, remember the Lord loves you so much He surely has your picture stuck under a magnet on His refrigerator.

...The Romantic Times chose The Outsider as a "Top Pick!"

...The author of Orchard of Hope and Summer of Joy offers a glimpse of a bygone era in which the Shakers lived together in chastity and faith. With an appealing heroine and an intriguing plot, Gabhart's latest novel deserves a place in all public libraries. Library Journal Review for The Outsider, June 1, 2008.
