Christian author and missionary

Darkness, light, and a love with purpose.

Rane Tomlinson writes clean, engaging romance novels full of danger, laughter, and fun. They never become sermons, and the purpose at the heart of each story may surprise you.

Why would a missionary write romance novels?

Rane sees fiction as a doorway into the lives of readers who may never enter a church, or who may not yet know how deeply Jesus loves them.

Through her stories, she hopes to encourage those who feel down, discouraged, or forgotten, and to speak life and joy into their hearts.
