Do you have a family motto you hope your children remember?

Our family motto is:
There’s always room for one more.
It grew out of our time as a military family, when we spent so many holidays away from relatives. We always tried to open our home to whoever needed a place to celebrate.

What can we expect from you next?

I’m one of the authors in the A Year of Weddings series by HarperCollins—I’m the author of the “A November Bride” novella. I’m brainstorming several Colorado romance series . . . so we’ll see what doors God opens!

BETH K. VOGT
believes God’s best is often behind the doors marked “Never.” She’s a nonfiction author and editor who said she’d never write fiction. She’s the wife of a former air force physician who said she’d never marry a doctor—or anyone in the military. She’s a mom of four who said she’d never have kids. Beth writes inspirational contemporary romance set in the Colorado Rockies because she believes there’s more to romance than the fairy tales tell us.
