Ruth Logan Herne

USA Today bestselling, award-winning author Ruth Logan Herne is the author of over 70 novels and novellas. She loves God, her family, country, coffee, chocolate and dogs, and wishes possums would leave the cat food on the side porch alone. And yet... they don't. With over two million books in print, Ruthy is living her dream of touching hearts and souls by writing the kind of books she likes to read. Whether it's losing yourself in her top-selling "Double S Ranch" cowboy series for Multnomah/Waterbrook or her bestselling Wishing Bridge series for Waterfall Press/Brilliance Audio/Indie, or her fan-favorite cozy mysteries from Guideposts, Ruthy's particular talent for contemporary lyricism draws the readers in, heart... and soul. The mother of six with a somewhat stolen seventh "daughter of her heart" and Godmother to many others, Ruthy takes her living experiences and turns them into relatable stories of faith, hope and love. She lives on a pumpkin farm in Western New York with "Farmer Dave", a man who probably had no idea what he was getting into when he popped the question years ago. Their pumpkin farm has become a signature spot in their town and folks come from all over Western New York in September and October to enjoy an old-fashioned, affordable family experience embracing all aspects of fall, including Ruthy's homemade cakes, cookies, breads, jams, fudge and fried pies! Ruthy and a couple of helpers take charge of the kitchen every fall, producing all the baked goods, jams, fudge and dough for their fried dough booth. The farm store offers Ruthy a chance for readers and visitors to grab books, learn more about one of their favorite authors, support their "Pink on Every Porch" breast cancer awareness wagon for pink pumpkins and mums, and those two months of farm life give Ruthy a chance to chat with real people... then turn them into fictional characters during the quiet of mid-winter, so be careful what you say!
