I live about forty-five minutes from<br \/>\nGatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, so setting the series here was a natural<br \/>\nchoice. When I\u2019m not writing, I\u2019m homeschooling my three boys, spending time with family<br \/>\nand friends, or planning my next tea party. I love books, caf\u00e9 mochas, and tea rooms.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Was there a time in your life God challenged you to become stronger?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Early in my marriage, I had an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in emergency surgery and<br \/>\nultimately, a miscarriage. I was told that because it wasn\u2019t caught early enough, that my<br \/>\nchances of getting pregnant again were reduced. Although I already had a two-year-old son,<br \/>\nthe loss crushed me. While my life had been far from perfect up until that point, losing a child<br \/>\nwas the hardest thing I\u2019d ever had to deal with. It made me question my faith. Question God.<br \/>\nDoubts poured in\u2026maybe God doesn\u2019t think I\u2019m a good mother. Maybe He doesn\u2019t want me to<br \/>\nhave more kids. I struggled with anger and sadness. Then the day came when I took part in my<br \/>\nfirst Beth Moore Bible study and, as a result, my relationship with God deepened. He helped me<br \/>\nwork through my grief. I learned that God knows best. The loss of that child forced me to trust<br \/>\nHis plan, even when I didn\u2019t agree or like that plan. Two years after the miscarriage, I became<br \/>\npregnant with my second son. My husband and I were overjoyed. And almost two years after he<br \/>\nwas born, we welcomed our third son. We are blessed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What is special about your most recent book, <em>The Husband Hunt<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This book is special to me because it portrays two friends\/neighbors who fall in love. The<br \/>\nfriends-to-romance story theme is one of my favorites. Something about the journey from<br \/>\nfriendship to love fascinates me, so I set out to portray that with Nathan and Sophie. Tomboy<br \/>\nSophie is strong-minded and independent, but she\u2019s also impulsive. Nathan has had to rescue<br \/>\nher countless times. Because he\u2019s naturally cautious, he disapproves of her antics. He wants her<br \/>\nto act like a lady. Mid-way through the book, Sophie reluctantly submits to a makeover in order<br \/>\nto snag a husband, something she\u2019s forced to do in order to save her farm and keep her younger brother with her. Nathan\u2019s reaction was fun to explore.&#8221;&#8211;Karen<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00D4MVGLI\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00D4MVGLI&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=lyco-20\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00D4MVGLI&amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=lyco-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=lyco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00D4MVGLI\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To purchase, click cover.<\/p>\n<p>Wanted: A Husband<br \/>\nSophie Tanner gave up hoping for Nathan O&#8217;Malley&#8217;s approval\u2014and love\u2014long ago.<br \/>\nGetting married is the only way to protect her younger brother and keep her family&#8217;s Smoky<br \/>\nMountain farm. As much as she&#8217;d like Nathan to be the groom, he can&#8217;t seem to get past their<br \/>\nfriendship\u2026or their differences.<br \/>\nSince they were children, Nathan has known Sophie was too impulsive, too headstrong. She&#8217;s<br \/>\nforever rushing into situations without thinking them through, like this scheme to snare a<br \/>\nhusband in under a month. Nathan always thought he&#8217;d fall in love with someone like himself\u2014<br \/>\nsensible, cautious, levelheaded. Sophie is his polar opposite. So why can&#8217;t he picture anyone else at his side?<br \/>\nSmoky Mountain Matches: Dreams of home and family come true in the Smoky Mountains<br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karenkirst.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.karenkirst.com<\/a><br \/>\nFacebook:<a href=\" https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KarenKirst.author\" target=\"_blank\"> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KarenKirst.author<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: @KarenKirst<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thanks for being my guest, Karen.
