Amanda CabotAuthor Bio:
Amanda Cabot has always been a dreamer, and so it’s no coincidence that her first books for the CBA market were the Texas Dreams trilogy. Set in the Hill Country beginning in 1856, these deeply emotional historical romances showcase God’s love as well as that between a man and a woman. The first in the trilogy, Paper Roses, was a finalist for the 2010 Carol Award. Amanda is also the author of the Westward Winds trilogy, the Texas Crossroads trilogy, Christmas Roses, the Cimarron Creek trilogy, and several historical novellas. |
