Curtiss Ann Matlock is an American writer of 38 novels of contemporary and historical fiction for Silhouette Books, Harlequin Historical, Avon, and Mira Books. Her novels have placed on the USA TODAY best seller lists and received numerous awards, among them two National Readers’ Choice Awards, and three nominations for the Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA® Award. Told with a strong Southern voice, her heartwarming stories portray the human comedy and uncommon valor of everyday people striving to deal with heartbreak, to live with faith, and to love well.
Born in North Carolina, Curtiss Ann traveled widely until she and her husband settled in rural Oklahoma, where for thirty years they raised their son and a few horses, the church was just up the road, and everyone managed to know everyone and help out when necessary. Today Curtiss Ann resides in south Alabama, where she is busy with family, writing, gardening, and RVing.
“All my life I have been given refuge, pleasure, and encouragement from fiction, and my aim in writing my books has been to pass the same on to my readers. It is my hope that upon reaching the last page of one of my novels, the reader feels more hopeful about herself and her life. I know that in at least in a few instances, I have achieved this aim, as readers have written to tell me so. All praise goes to God, Who guided me even when I was filled with doubt and unbelief. He is “from Whom comes every good and perfect gift” and nothing stops His plans.”
