Iola Goulton writes contemporary Christian romance with a Kiwi connection. “Iola” is a Welsh name which means “valued by the Lord,” and it’s pronounced “yo-la” (not eye-ola).
Iola is the empty-nest mother of two who lives with her husband in the sunny Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, not far from Hobbiton. Yes, Hobbiton is a real place. She works part-time as a freelance editor and part-time for a local company, wrangling spreadsheets by day and words by night.
