About Eloise Schroder, Webmaster of The Christian Fiction Site:
Ellie has loved Christian fiction for many years, after being introduced to it back in 1990. She developed "The Christian
Fiction Site" back in 1998 under the former title "Ellie's World of Christian Fiction" after seeing the need for an online
resource site for readers to become more familiar with Christian fiction titles on the market. Since then, she has maintained
the site in her own spare time, as well as juggling a full-time job with GPH Wholesale, a distributor of Christian literature, and being
part of the worship team in her local church. Ellie lives in Palmerston North, New Zealand, with Dion, her husband of
more than 10 years.

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m a Kansas farm girl who grew up with a dream of being a wife, mother and writer of books. Praise the Lord, all my dreams have come true! I’ve been married to my wonderful husband Ken for over 30 years now, we have 4 great kids (and our first grandbaby on the way!) and I’ve been writing for eleven years (currently at work on my eleventh novel.) I can’t imagine a life any more fulfilling!
