Take a Divine Detour With Kathy Harris (Episode 48)
On this episode of “The Romantic Side of Suspense,” I’m talking with Kathy Harris, an author by way of a “divine detour” into the Nashville music business, where she has worked for 30 years as a marketing director. She sold her first Christian nonfiction stories in 2007. Her debut novel, The Road to Mercy, released in 2012 from Abingdon Press. Her second book, Deadly Commitment, the first in The Deadly Secrets series, released in print and audio in 2019 from Iron Stream Media. A large print library edition followed in 2020 from Center Point Large Print. The second book in The Deadly Secrets series, Deadly Connection, releases this fall.
“When I started blogging over 10 years ago, I decided that divine detour sums up my writing and life in general,” Kathy says. “Sometimes God takes us on a crooked path to the right thing. … We can’t always assume how God plans to get us to our calling and [divine detour] kind of sums that up for all of us.”
