When novelist Jamie Carie was six, her parents met Jesus and soon after started a church. It changed everything. Road trips with her dad—to and from Bible studies across Indiana—were filled with talks of things beyond earth’s bounds--creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch.

The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop in the middle of the night where her dad would spend a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes. Nothing ever felt so special as a middle of the night slice of pie with her dad. And nothing could stop the writing pouring out of her.

When Jamie’s eldest son turned five she dove into the world of novels—and Snow Angel was born. Ten years later Snow Angel was published and won the ForeWord magazine Romance Book of the Year, the USA Book News National “Best Books 2007” Award, and was a finalist for the 2008 RITA Awards® for the Best First Book.

Jamie and her husband Tony have been married for twenty-one years and live in Indianapolis with their three sons and a giant of a dog named Leo.

If she could only say one thing to her readers it would be, "Live the dreams God has destined you for!"
