For those of you who read Love Inspired books, I thought it’d be fun to share some photos of LI authors.
How many you can name?
You get one point for each author you’re the first to name correctly…yes, there’s a prize. 😀
Skip the guys, ’cause we’re all gals.

I admit I’ll have to bring in a couple of LI experts to help me out with judging because there are a few authors I’m not sure I know either!
So double points to anyone who gets those right.

I forgot to mention that I’ve added some new page tabs at the top of the blog to provide additional resources for readers and for writers.
Oh dear! LOL I know about 75% of them. The rest are familiar faces but I can’t finger their names. I have to head to work or I’d play.
Wonderful pics!
So glad to hear I’m not alone in drawing a blank on some of the names. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, fun….here goes:
#2 Debra Clopton and hub
#8 Camy Tang
#9 and 10 Debbie Guisti and Janet Dean
#13 Ruth Logan Herne
#16 Lenora Worth
#22 Leann Harris
Thanks!

Jackie, thanks for getting us off to a great start! And you get one bonus point for naming an author I didn’t know. 🙂
Googles driving me nuts. I’ve had no luck with comments today. If this comes through I’ll be amazed because it ate my first one and I’m too exhausted to recall it.
Totally not my day! You can delete these, Sandra. But I did recognize Camy Tang and Betsy St. Amant, and wondered why you didn’t include a pic of yourself.
OH dear. I’m afraid I have a LOT of catching up to do!
Oh, Eileen, I feel your pain. But bonus points for dropping my name. LOL
Shauna, good to see you!
I only know maybe 3.
I think #8 could be Camy Tang but now sure without the pink boa.
#10 Looks like Janet Dean
& I believe #11 is Allie Pleiter.
The first picture my first thought was Debra Clopton but that was just the blonde hair, not sure that was her.
Good job, Judy, those are all correct. Jackie beat you to all but Allie…so I figured I should confirm which have been guessed correctly.
We’re now looking for names for:
1,3-7,12,14-15,17-21 and the editors. 🙂
Ok I know that number 4 is Merrillee Whren. I also knew some of the others that have already been mentioned. I keep trying to compare the pics to my facebook friends because I have a few authors on there but I haven’t found anyone yet.
That’s right, Laura! Merrilee is so much fun to chat with. I had the pleasure of getting to know her over a couple of meals.
Thanks for posting these pictures! And I’d love to play:
. #1 – Kathryn Springer and hubby
#2 Deb Clopton and hubby
#4 Margaret Daley
#8 Camy Tang
#9 and 10 Debby Giusti and Camy Tang
#11 Allie Pleiter
#16 and 17 Lenora (Elnora) Worth and Linda Goodnight
Editors – Melissa Endlich and Elizabeth Mazer (both of whom I got to meet when I went to the New York office this past August)
Hi Carolyne, great to see you hear!!! Did I ever tell you that seeing in your LI bio that you were Canadian!!! was what inspired me to pursue writing for LI?
You’ve guessed quite a few, but…GASP! #4 isn’t Margaret Daley! I’m glad to see that I’m not the only LI author who can’t identify everyone 😀
I’m going to take the easy way out and name: #7 Naomi Rawlings, #14 – Me! Sherri Shackelford, and #15 my lovely dinner companion, Laura Kingery.
Love the pic of us 🙂
PS< Mom loved your book! She was late for work finishing the last pages. She did say we were in a 'tie' for best author 🙂
Oh, wow, your mom’s so sweet! I’m sorry I made her late for work…well, sort of. *big grin* I’ll send you the pic!
