Biography

Beth Wiseman is the best-selling author of the Daughters of the Promise series and the Land of Canaan series. Having sold over 1.5 million books, her novels have held spots on the ECPA (Evangelical Christian Publishers Association) Bestseller List and the CBA (Christian Book Association) Bestseller List. She was the recipient of the prestigious Carol Award in 2011 and 2013. She is a three-time winner of the Inspirational Readers Choice Award, and an INSPY Award winner. In 2013 she won the coveted Holt Medallion. Her first book in the Land of Canaan series — Seek Me With All Your Heart — was selected as the 2011 Women of Faith Book of the Year. Wiseman is contracted with HarperCollins Christian Publishing into the year 2018, and she has published thirteen novels and thirteen novellas to date.

As a former newspaper reporter, Wiseman was honored by her peers with eleven journalism awards, including first place news writing for the Texas Press Association. She has been a humor columnist for The 1960 Sun in Houston and published articles in various publications. However, writing novels is where her heart is. She left her job as a journalist in 2008 to write novels full-time.

Wiseman has a deep affection for the Amish and their simpler way of life, and while she plans to continue writing Amish love stories, she is also branching out into other areas. Her first non-Amish, contemporary book, Need You Now, was released in April 2012 and landed on the CBA Bestseller List. She enjoyed writing the story based in a town near where she lives, and she chose another small Texas town for her next non-Amish contemporary work, The House that Love Built, which is based in Smithville, the same quaint town where movies such as Hope Floats and Tree of Life were filmed. Wiseman continued to spread her wings when she released The Promise in October 2014. Inspired by actual events, this book follows Wiseman's characters all the way to Pakistan. Wiseman was involved in a real-life rescue when her friend was held captive in Pakistan. She is currently working on book #2 in her new Amish Secrets series, tentatively titled Jacob's Ladder. Book #1, Her Brother’s Keeper, was recently released and was chosen as a Top Pick by RT Reviews Magazine.
