In checking out your authors list, I cannot believe that my two favorite Christian romance writers are not included: Francine Rivers and Lynn Austin.
Thanks for the heads up. The list is a work in progress, but I can see how it’s a little unbelievable that we missed those two great authors. We’ve got them added now.
I think you are doing a wonderful job here. What a great service to those of us that not only write Christian romance, but READ it…a lot:)
Thanks again for doing a great job!!!!
I think you have a wonderful website. Keep up the good work. Here are a few other authors that I love. Tracey V. Bateman; Kathleen Morgan; Kim Vogel Sawyer; Peggy Stoks; Jan Watson; Cathy Marie Hake; and Lisa Wingate.
Found this site by just seraching for a list of authors to take with me to the library… thanks for sucha great list. I love that you tell us what kind of romance they write, that helps to narrow down my choices at library!
i cant believe this list does not include francine rivers,is it that she no longer writes
The list is a work in progress. We would like to have a website link for each author. This takes time. As far as I know, Francine Rivers still writes!
what about linda chaikin?
I just found this website and I love it .You guys have my favorite authors Lori Wick, Lynn Austin, and Laura Snelling . Keep it up!
I have a much larger list, one of romance/ historicals and another of mystery. It’s a work I put together for myself and keep updated as much as possible. You also have some I don’t have. Not sure how I’d get my lists to you.
Thanks…We’re striving to continually create a better site!
We’re in the process of adding several authors to our list! Thanks for your suggestion.
Some of my favs are missing: Deanne Gist, Julie Lessman, Tamara Alexander, Sharlene Maclaren, Julie Klassen, Tracie Peterson, Susan May Warren, DiAnn Mills. I love the idea of having one list with every Christian author.
You guys are doing an awesome job. Another favorite author of mine is Mary Lu Tyndall
Thanks for the list! This is very helpful~ God bless
This is a cool site. I love reading Christian Romance.
I not to sure my hubby does though…haha because I stay up way too late. 
Thanks for the list of authors…am excited to go to our library now. 
What about Deeanne Gist?
Denise Hunter is wonderful! Especially her Nantucket series.
I really appreciate this list. I was just telling my husband that I didn’t know what I was going to do because I think I have read most of the christian romance novels that our library has to offer (at least from the authors that I know of). However, the list includes quite a few authors that I was unaware of. I can’t wait to explore some new authors!
What a wonderful resource! I just happen to be searching for a different Blog and came across this site. It’s now book marked.
We run a Library for the Old Age Home we live in and have run out of Authors, this list is a God sernt. Thank you
Colleen coble is also an amazing christian author that does romance mystery and historical romance
Thank you so much for this list. I download books on tape for my mother who is legally blind. This list of Christian authors who write romance has been so helpful to us. You make it easy to download the books “worth listening to.” Sincerely.
Wow!!! this is a great website. so many of the authors i love, such as Karen Kingsbury, Tamera Alexander, Mary Lu Tyndall, Susan Warren…………….
They’re all on the list, and if the others are anything like them, i can’t wait to read their books!! thnx again!
I don’t see Kristin Heitzmann on the list. She is THE best!
One of my favorites is Liz Curtis Higgs. she writes contemporary and historical fiction.
What about Kristen Heitzmann? She’s one of the best, in my opinion, especially when it comes to character development.
Would be nice to have a list of books that are published in electronic format for Android reader.
You left some of my favorites out like DeeAnne Gist, Mary Connealy, Sharlene MacLaren, Rosey Dow, Wanda Brunstetter, and others. Of course, I prefer the historical Christian romance books more than any others
I hope to be continually adding more authors, so keep an eye out!
I will be working on adding these authors and many more. Thank you for the names.
We’re currently working on supplying such a list!
