But it's not <span style="font-style: italic;">all</span> fun and games. When it's time for a break or change of scenery, many novelists retreat to a special garden spot in the backyard, front porch, courtyard or garden shed. We welcome you into the outdoor spaces that offer us respite and inspiration. So grab a mug of coffee or a cup of tea and come sit with us a spell. . .<br />

Since selling her first book in 1997, <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=keywords&Ntt=Carolyne+Aarsen&action=Search&N=0&Ne=0&event=ESRCN&nav_search=1&cms=1&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go">Carolyne Aarsen</a> has had numerous novels published. Her stories reflect a love of God, family, and rural life. When not writing she helps her husband with his logging business, and with the cows, horses and chickens on their farm in Neerlandia, Canada, where long winters make them appreciate their flowers all the more. (The lovely arbor bench below is the view from Carolyne's office window!) Carolyne and her husband have raised four children and numerous foster children, and are now enjoying the addition of grandchildren to their family.

Lynn Austin's books have won eight Christy Awards, and her novel <i>Hidden Places</i> became a Hallmark movie starring Shirley Jones. Until recently, Lynn gardened near Chicago, but in Fall of 2013 she and her husband, Ken, vacationed in Michigan where Ken grew up, and where he and Lynn met and fell in love. "As we cycled along one of our favorite bicycle trails near the lakeshore," says Lynn, "we saw a 'For Sale by Owner' sign in front of a beautiful little house that I'd long admired. The owners were having an open house that day, and as soon as Lynn saw the custom-built library shelves in the great room, complete with a rolling library ladder, she fell in love. "The house had everything we needed, including a sandy beach on Lake Michigan where we could watch the sunset every evening." In a wonderful chain of events only God could have orchestrated, they made the house their home after Ken retired in May of 2014.

Ruth Axtell Morren loves writing about the 19th century, whether it’s Regency or late Victorian England. Ruth studied comparative literature at Smith College, spending her junior year at the Sorbonne in Paris. After college, she taught English in the Canary Islands, then worked in international development in Miami before moving to the Netherlands, where for the next several years she juggled writing and raising her three children.<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.19999885559082px;"> </span></span>With the publication of <i>Her Good Name</i>, she returned to coastal Maine in the 1890s. For Ruth, gardening (both vegetable and flower) is a source of inspiration in Downeast Maine and something to look forward to during the winter months.

Karen Ball has been writing stories since she was a little girl. The first novel in her <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=keywords&Ntt=Karen+Ball&action=Search&N=0&Ne=0&event=ESRCN&nav_search=1&cms=1&Go.x=14&Go.y=10&Go=Go">Family Honor series</a>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Shattered Justice</span>, was given the 2006 Inspirational Reader's Choice Award. won the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award. Karen's love of all things nature came from her mother and father, who raised pansies and roses, respectively. As a result, Karen's garden has an abundance of both flowers, and she loves creating bouquets from her garden to fill the house with the sweet fragrances. The color and aroma are a definite inspiration to her as she writes. Karen and husband, Don, live in Oregon with their two "kids": Dasha, a mischievous Siberian husky, and Dakota, an Aussie-Terrier mix rescue dog.

With a very short growing season where Janet Bly lives, petunias are one of the few hardy flowers that last through summer until the first snows hit. The rest of the year Janet enjoys about sixty ponderosa pines that surround the home. Janet's late husband, <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/search?author=Stephen%20Bly&detailed_search=1&action=Search">Stephen</a>, who passed away in 2011, was a Christy Award winner for westerns. He authored and co-authored with Janet, 101 fiction and nonfiction books, including historical and contemporary westerns. Steve was a retired mayor who pastored Winchester (ID) Community Church. Janet continues to live in northern Idaho at 4,000 ft. elev., on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation. Janet and the couple's three sons finished writing Stephen's last novel after his death. Her hobbies include decorating her home in “country clutter,” shopping for a touch of bling and dressy denim, and reading and reviewing all genres of fiction. You can find Steve and Janet's books on the Web at <a href="http://www.blybooks.com/">www.blybooks.com</a>.<br />

She’s always found peaceful joy in gardening and is thrilled that she and her husband have recently moved back to her native northern California. Besides raised beds for organic vegetable gardening, their lush, private yard offers a rose garden, soothing sounds of waterfalls, enticements for butterflies and hummingbirds — “and great spots for the grandkids to build forts and play hide-and-seek.” Just what the doctor ordered.

Born and raised in Vincennes, Indiana, Jamie Carie began writing as a young girl. Many poems, short stories, and song lyrics later, she grew up and married, and when her eldest son turned five she decided to try her hand at novels. Her first novel, <i>Snow Angel, </i>won the USA Book News “Best Books 2007” Award, and was a 2008 RITA Award finalist. Thus began her dream career. Jamie and Tony have now been married more than twenty years and enjoy their backyard getaway in Indianapolis with their three sons and a dog named Leo.

Nearby, the Carlsons' grown sons and a granddaughter, along with two “re-homed” pets (a yellow Labrador retriever Audrey and a Maine coon cat named Harry) keep life interesting. Melody's writing studio is in a separate building next to the courtyard (a garden area that’s off limits to the voracious deer). The window behind her desk looks out into the ponderosa pine forest, where she sees deer, squirrels, rabbits, and an occasional raccoon. The courtyard is frequented by numerous hummingbirds in the summertime. More about Melody at <a href="http://www.melodycarlson.com/">www.melodycarlson.com</a>.<br />

Mindy, husband John, and two daughters live near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. As the daughter of an avid organic gardener, Mindy would rather look at beautiful flowers than do all the work that makes them that way, as the weeds in her "leftover tulip garden" attest. She explains: "Every Christmas, I like to send a gift to everyone at my publishing house. The year my novel, <span style="font-style: italic;">The Trouble with Tulip,</span> came out, I sent gifts of tulip bulbs. I didn't know what to do with the leftover bulbs, but a strangely warm winter day came along, so I stuck them in the ground around our front lamp post. I forgot all about them, but that spring they popped up, blooming beautifully—and have continued to bless us each year since!"

Mary DeMuth lives with her husband, Patrick, and their three children in Texas, where they returned to from Southern France where they planted a church and tended the first garden shown below. Mary’s novels include <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=keywords&Ntt=Mary+deMuth&action=Search&N=0&Ne=0&event=ESRCN&nav_search=1&cms=1&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wishing on Dandelions</span></a>, which was a finalist for the Retailer's Choice Award and the ACFW Carol Award. Mary also writes non-fiction. Says Mary, "I'm a chef wanna-be, a sometimes triathlete (emphasis on <i>sometimes</i>), an on-again-off-again gardener, and a passionate follower of Jesus. I'm in love with my husband and kids and am zealous about writing and speaking." Her home on the web is <a href="http://www.marydemuth.com/">www.marydemuth.com</a>.<br />

Sharon Dunn is the author of numerous novels for the Christian market. Her first book in <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/search?author=Sharon%20Dunn&detailed_search=1&action=Search">the Ruby Taylor mystery series</a> was a finalist for the Romantic Times Inspirational Book of the Year, the second book in that series was voted Book of the Year by American Christian Fiction Writers. Sharon claims she is one cat away from being a Crazy Cat Lady. (She has three cats, and also loves a nervous border collie named Bart.) She loves the first sip of coffee in the morning, the timelessness of C.S. Lewis’ writing and the feeling of sunshine on her face. You can read more about her at <a href="http://www.sharondunnbooks.net/">www.sharondunnbooks.net</a><br />
