| LOUISE GOUGE |
Louise M. Gouge has been married to David Gouge for 42 years. They
have four grown children and five grandchildren. Louise earned her BA in
English/Creative Writing at the University of Central Florida in Orlando
and her Master of Liberal Studies degree at Rollins College in Winter
Park, Florida. Her novel, Ahab’s Bride, Book One of Ahab’s Legacy,
(RiverOak Publishing, 2004) was her master’s thesis at Rollins College.
The multiple-award-winning Hannah Rose, Book Two of Ahab’s Legacy,
was released in 2005, and Son of Perdition, Book Three of Ahab’s
Legacy, was released in 2006. Her upcoming post-Civil War trilogy
debuted in September 2006 with Book I: Then Came Faith, from
Emerald Pointe Books. Book II: Then Came Hope, is due for release in
the summer of 2007.
While writing Christian fiction is her primary occupation and labor of love,
Louise is also an adjunct professor of English and Humanities at Valencia
Community College in Kissimmee, Florida. Having received her
advanced education in middle age, she tries to inspire her younger
students to complete their own education early. For her older students,
Louise hopes that her experiences prove that it is never too late for them
to work toward their dreams. (Her first novel was published after she
turned fifty!) In the classroom, she attempts to live out her Christian faith
both in words and in action.
Louise’s favorite Bible verse is “He shall choose our inheritance for us”
(Psalm 47:4), a testimony to her belief that God has chosen a path for
each believer. To seek that path and to trust His wisdom is to find the
greatest happiness in life.

And a brief testimony.
I believe God speaks to every person’s heart about His truth. My prayer is
that my readers will listen to God rather than to their all-too-human
“conscience” or to whatever is popular or expedient in their time or their
social group. I pray that they will know Christ and be His representative in
their sphere of influence, however large or small that may be. If I have
created characters who live by these ideals, perhaps my readers will gain
the courage to “go forth and do likewise.”
