I remember watching the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition that feature the Woodhouse family. I know Kim through the writing grapevine and ACFW family. I’d seen the prayer requests for Kayla and the taping, etc. But was blown away by the show. But that’s only half the story. This book tells the rest of the story. And in a style and …

Interview with Camy Tang
Deadly Intent is a change for you…Why did you decide to write romantic suspense? I have read Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired line—and especially the Love Inspired Suspense line—for many years, so when I had a chance to submit a proposal, I jumped at it.
