This year, 2012, saw the launch of A BODYGUARD OF LIES and THE DELPHI BLOODLINE, both ebooks and available on Kindle, Nook, Apple, and elsewhere. Following that first sale, I published three more women's fiction books, then branched out into writing my first love, romantic thrillers. I sold my first novel, OPERATION FAMILIA, right away and this book went on to win an award for the Best 2010 Latino Books into Movies Award. Thus, began a journey doing what I'd been wanting to do for many years-write fiction. After retiring from high school teaching, I decided life was too short to waste.

Though most now live modern lives, they, like the Amish, have traditionally kept themselves at a strict remove from the sinful world, and some still do. Today, they number about two million worldwide. ![]() ![]() Mennonites belong to an Anabaptist movement that took shape in the Netherlands during the Protestant Reformation. She had been thinking about it on and off since 2009, when she read about a series of crimes that had taken place in a remote Mennonite community in Bolivia known as Manitoba Colony. But she found that she wished she could embellish, add thunder and lightning where there had been only a gentle rain, and that is why she writes fiction.Ī few years ago, Toews was walking around Toronto, where she lives, turning the idea for a novel over in her mind. In her twenties, when she went to journalism school to learn how to make radio documentaries, she loved spending hours with audiotape, a razor blade, and chalk, seamlessly stitching together the voices she had gathered, trying to keep her own voice out of the mix.
