Katalina

Carolyn Scheidies is an inspiring woman who writes inspiring books. I've "known" Carolyn online for several years, through Christian E-Author and other groups. She writes both fiction and nonfiction (including devotionals), and her theme is "I Deal in Hope."

KATALINA--Catalyst to Murder is one of my favorite books. It's a great mystery, a wonderful romance ... and a marvelous lesson in self-acceptance, trust, and salvation.

I especially enjoyed the fact that Katalina is disabled, as is Carolyn. When I wrote my novel Stroke of Luck with a handicapped heroine, many agents and editors rejected the book, and they often said a romance couldn't have a handicapped heroine.

Katalina proves that a wonderful romance can indeed have a handicapped heroine. God does not look at our physical appearance and abilities but at our heart and soul. A real hero will not judge the heroine by her physical appearance and abilities but by her heart and soul.
