Plain Pursuit was a book I could not put down. Just loved it and had my daughter read it too. Both of us fell in love with the characters and story and cannot wait till the next book comes out. One of the best books I have read in a long time.

I love reading all the Amish books as soon as they come out. I am always looking for more authors to read so this blog is great way to see other authors.

I am like all of the other bloggers, cannot wait for each of your books to be released. I am always ready for the next "dose" before I even finish the book I am reading. I have not yet read any of the other authors, but will be going to my favorite bookstore to find and/or order their books. I too agree that this is a good way to find other authors who write about the Amish. Maybe now I won't have "dry months" where no new releases are forthcoming.

Oh...I'm so excited...just like I was when there was a Grace Livingston Hill Fan club. I'll be looking forward to reading your books, girls. I love stories about the Amish.
Happy Writing Trails from Sundance, WY.

I so enjoyed Plain Perfect. I am really excited to have some new Amish authors to read. I am waiting for the new releases!!! keep up the good work

I don't know why, but I read everything I can about the Amish, from heavy-weight academic books to fiction. My husband teases me when he sees an Amish book on the coffee table -- right next to the Bloomingdales catalog!

I think it is a wonderful idea to create a place find out new things about not one but four authors who write about such and interesting subject. I will be looking forward to seeing when the other books come out. I agree with Janet who wrote that you should write faster. Although I know how hard you work writing and I am sure it is not an easy job coming up with the story, I tend to be a tad impatient. I don't want to wait till the next one comes out. But maybe with four writers there will be something to do in between reading your books. Looking forward to checking out the other books.

Plain Perfect was awesome. I can't wait until Plain Persuit comes out in April. Each night reading your book provides a sweet escape to simpler times from such a complex world.

We are 2 years old in our Ladies Fun Book Club at Gulf Beach Baptist Church in Panama City Beach, FL. It has been a pleasure to see ladies who never read, discover the joy in reading. One of the first books we read was Cindy Woodsmall's "When the Heart Cries". We eagerly awaited the other 2 books in the series. "Plain Perfect" will be our reading for June. I'm excited about this new blog. Thanks! Barbara

I really enjoy Amish fiction and am glad you're starting this blog. It's also great to discover new writers in this field. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of Plain Perfect.

I have been trying to get my hands on a copy of your book from the library, but it's always checked out! I have never read any Amish stories before, but I am so looking forward to it. And I can't wait until Amy's book comes out next month!
Reply to this
I can't wait for your next novel, Beth. In the meantime I am looking forward to reading the others authors novels from this blog. "Uniting women in faith".....God bless you all.

What are the titles for the novellas in the Amish Christmas anthology? I am so looking forward to reading this; I love Amish stories. I tried asking this question on the other blog, but I did not hear back. Is there somewhere else I should be asking this type of question? God bless you all with your writing and your lives that you are living in His service!
Reply to this
The titles are A Choice to Forgive by Beth Wiseman, A Miracle for Miriam by Kathleen Fuller, and One Child by Barbara Cameron. Although, those are tentative titles until we get sign-off from our editor. Thanks for the post and your interest in the books!

I added a comment earlier about the Amish Christmas anthology; I wanted to know the titles for the novellas. However, when I subscribed to the blog below my comment, I used the wrong e-mail address. Is there any way I can delete that subscription, and just use this one?

Hi Susan - you should be able to un-subscribe to the email you didn't mean to use when the first post is delivered to that email address. I think!

Hey Beth: Can't wait until April so I can get my hands on Plain Pursuit. I know you have been SUPER BUSY, but we really need to have lunch one day!

It is wonderful to see so many authors getting together for more stories on the Amish.

I agree with Fran, I could not put down Plain Perfect. I am eagerly awaiting Plain Pursuit. This website is my dream come true. I try to get my hands on every novel about the Amish and for a long time I only knew of two choices. You have opened up my world and I thank you for it. I will be a regular visitor to this site.
God bless all of you.

I just wanted to let you know, Beth, how much I enjoyed your book! The characters tugged at my heart and I think it was sad how the Grandma passed away. The Grandfather was my favorite character! I am anxiously awaiting your second book!!

Hey Beth, don't fall out of your seat...I'm actually subscribing to your blog. Love you lots!

A great big Thank You, to the four of you. How wonderful it is to see all of you join together for a great cause, your love of writing, and our love of reading. It will be so much easier to have one place to come to get information from the four of you.
I wait anxiously for the new books to come out and have thought of not reading one till all in a series is available. I am just so addicted to them, I can not wait. I feel like I should call a family member for an update on a character, but there is no one to call. lol I wish each of you could publish a new book each month, alternately.
I do not mean to criticize and I hope I am not the only one having problems, but can you make the font larger, on this page? It is hard for me to read the white words on the dark background. I have to highlight them. I do not mind doing that, just thought I would bring it up, incase others have the same problem I am having. If they are, just use your mouse, left click and it brings it to a lighter background with dark words.
I think I better add more shelves to my, Shelfari Bookcase, on my blog.
God’s many blessings to all,
Barbee

Amish fiction has become one of my favorite reads,and Plain Perfect was wonderful! I received an Amazon Kindle as a present back in September, and I was delighted to find Plain Perfect in Kindle format! I have all of the upcoming Amish books on my wish list, and I hope the publisher makes them all available on the Kindle. Being able to make the font larger makes the books so easy to read.
Thank you again for a wonderful book, and I am waiting anxiously for the next!

Amy, Thank you so much for sending your new book to me. It is so generous and I am so excited! I eagerly await its arrival and will gladly post a comment after reading it. I won't take me long to read - I have a tendency to not put a good book down, until I have finished it. Just ask my husband- oh, maybe you better not!!

I am new to the Amish books and just happen to come across this site. I look forward to working with this site.

I drop in to this site often and have bookmarked it. Terrific that 4 authors will put this together. I've enjoyed their works so much!!
I've read Amish true and fiction books for years. Have a LOT of them. Now disabled and retired, I'm looking to sell most of the fiction so I can buy new ones as they come out. If anyone is interested e-mail me at esnoke@aol.com I have a bibliography of what I have and will send it to your snail mail address.
Keep up the superb work on this site. Liz Snoke

What a wonderful websight. I read the Amish stories like they were candy.I love all the amish authors and they make the people so real. I go to Shipshewana, IN every year and think of their way of life through the books that I read.I also love their wonderful cooking, and we look for the Amish restaurants. Keep up the good work.
