ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
A word from Colleen: God has been faithful, though the path has not been easy. Nothing worth doing is ever easy. God wouldn’t let me give up, and I like to think the struggle made me stronger. God has given me so much in my life, most importantly my great family, a loving church family at New Life Baptist Church, and my wonderful publishing family at Nelson Books.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Central Operator Katie Russell's inquisitive ways have just uncovered her parents' plan for her marriage to wealthy bachelor Bartholomew Foster. Her heart is unmoved, but she knows the match will bring her family status and respectability.
Then Katie overhears a phone conversation that makes her uneasy and asks authorities to investigate. But the caller is nowhere to be found. Mysterious connections arise between the caller and a ship lost at sea.
Against propriety, Katie questions the new lighthouse keeper, Will Jesperson. Then a smallpox epidemic forces their quarantine in his lighthouse. Though of low social status, Will's bravery and kindness remove Katie's suspicion and win her love. Katie and Will together work to solve the mystery of the missing girl and the lost ship as God gives the couple the desire of their hearts.

Kay's Comments: Great romantic suspense!! The availability of phones brings a unique dynamic to the story. The role of the light keeper makes for adventurous scenes and mystery. The Lightkeeper's Bride is full of twists and turns, as well as romance. This is a great novel!
(Note: I have a pet peeve: the title. When the title includes the word "bride" it implies a couple is married. To use it when the outcome of the romance is part of the mystery is to state a spoiler before the book begins. Yes, typically, the way of things is that the two main characters marry but I prefer to be able to wonder how the romance will end as I read.)
