Deborah Vogts
Deborah Vogts grew up on a farm in Southeast Kansas and began her first Great American Novel in high school. In college, she studied English literature and journalism, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that she became serious about her writing. Deborah is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and is co-chairman for a local writers group, Christian Writers Fellowship. She contributes to the CWF monthly newsletter and has served as their conference coordinator for the last five years. As a college student at Emporia State University, Deborah developed a love for the Kansas Flint Hills that has never faded. In writing the Seasons of the Tallgrass, a contemporary romance series for Zondervan, she hopes to share her passion for one of the last tallgrass prairie regions in the world, showing that God’s great beauty rests on the prairie and in the hearts of those who live there. The first book in the series, Snow Melts in Spring released in June 2009.
Deborah and her husband have three daughters and make their home in Southeast Kansas where they raise and train American Quarter Horses.
Mattie Evans, a young veterinarian in rural Kansas, saves a horse injured in a terrible accident. But she also finds herself tending the wounded relationship between a prodigal son and his ailing father. Love, conflict, forgiveness and renewal drive this first book of the Seasons of the Tallgrass series.
Seeds of Summer, Book 2 in the Seasons of the Tallgrass series, is set to release in April 2010.
