Karen Barnett is the author of Mistaken, a 1920s inspirational romance, and Out of the Ruins, the first book in the Golden Gate Chronicles series, set during the time of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
Karen has also written several articles that have been published by Guideposts and other national magazines, and in 2013 was blessed to be named the Cascade Awards Writer of Promise from Oregon Christian Writers (OCW). She is represented by Rachel Kent of Books & Such Literary Agency. Karen grew up in Washington and went to college at Valparaiso University in Indiana, followed by graduate study in Geosciences at Oregon State University. Fueled by a fascination for God's creation, she worked several years in outdoor education--as a naturalist at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, a seasonal ranger at Mount Rainier National Park, and as Park Naturalist at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. Karen lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her husband, two children, three furry felines and an attention-hungry dachshund. When she's not writing and blogging, she enjoys playing guitar, hiking, decorating bizarre birthday cakes, and dragging her kids through boring history museums. |

(Golden Gate Chronicles #1) by Karen Barnett
Purchase: [Amazon.com | Amazon Kindle | The Book Depository] While her sister lies on her deathbed, Abby Fischer prays for a miracle. What Abby doesn’t expect, however, is for God’s answer to come in the form of the handsome Dr. Robert King, whose experimental treatment is risky at best. As they work together toward a cure, Abby’s feelings for Robert become hopelessly entangled. Separated by the tragedy of the mighty San Francisco earthquake, their relationship suddenly takes a back seat to survival. With fires raging throughout the city, Abby fears for her life as she flees alone through burning streets. Where is God now? Will Robert find Abby, even as the world burns around them? Or has their love fallen with the ruins of the city? |
