Deborah Raney Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." ~Martyred missionary Jim Elliot Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. A few years ago I read one of my books aloud to my then 13-year-old daughter. We got the giggles as my hero winked every third page. I also have to be careful my heroines don't rake a hand through their hair more than once or twice per book. Q. What is your greatest achievement? A. My children. Not that I can take any credit for the amazing people they have become, but I think anyone who meets them can't help but say we did a few things right. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. Price stickers that ruin the product to which they are affixed. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. I would love to be bilingual. I think having a second or third language at my bidding would open up the world in amazing ways. Learn more about Deborah Raney
