Jody Hedlund has published more than 80 books since 2010, making her one of the most prolific authors working in Christian romance today. Her work falls into two broad categories: historical romances set in 19th-century America and fairy-tale-inspired fantasy romances set in fictional medieval kingdoms. The Hearts of Faith series, starting with The Preacher’s Bride (2010), established her reputation in historical Christian fiction, while the Uncertain Choice series and Knights of Brethren brought her into young adult fantasy territory.
Her American historical romances include the Beacons of Hope series (set around Great Lakes lighthouses), the Michigan Brides series, and multiple Colorado-set series featuring cowboys and ranch life. On the fantasy side, The Lost Princesses and The Fairest Maidens retell classic fairy tales with Christian themes. The Waters of Time series adds time travel to her repertoire, sending modern characters back to medieval England. Hedlund’s output has only increased in recent years, with the High Country Ranch and Shanahan Match series both launching in 2024.
