Peanuts! Popcorn! Ice-cold drinks! Ah, the sounds of summer ringing through the ball park. Personally, I am a huge baseball fan and recently went to my first ever (wondering why I waited so long, sigh) Akron RubberDucks game. We attend quite a few Indians games and really love the vibe of all things baseball, so […]
Sunset in Old Savannah – Needs More Heart I’m most familiar with Mary Ellis’s writing because of her superb Amish writings (Wayne County series, the New Beginnings, the Miller Family series, and a host of wonderful novellas.) Ellis has a way of charming her readers in to a storyline. So when I was given the […]
A Secret Courage – Another Win for Tricia Goyer! I’ve come to see author Tricia Goyer as a whiz at storytelling, both in the Amish genre and WWII historical fiction. And while I can never turn down a good Amish novel, it was refreshing to read some historical fiction. Goyer’s latest historical fiction release, A […]
If I were to make a list of all of the books I’d like to read this summer, it’d be too many to count! I was just telling my husband that I wish I had a “download” button in my brain so that I could just devour all of the wonderful stories I come across. […]
It’s summer. Time to relax. Sit back. And enjoy meeting new friends! Like Jessica, Liz and Lydia in The Sisters of Sugarcreek. They’re an unlikely trio of English and Amish ladies who find themselves in the direst circumstances. The kind of happenings which could lead them to total despair or to become the best of […]
This past Sunday we spent a WONDERFUL day at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. It was our first time visiting the zoo and we were thrilled that we went! It was neat to ride an elevator up the entrance, which was more than perfect for me and my flip-flop loving self. We were able to […]
When I decided I wanted to write romantic suspense, I never imagined I’d end up being the author of nine (and counting!) Amish books. My first attempts at getting published involved regular folks in suspenseful situations. My writing had captured the attention of an editor at Harlequin, but couldn’t get past the senior editor. I […]
Abiding Mercy – A Serious Page-Turner! When I saw the cover for Ruth Reid’s latest release, Abiding Mercy, I was giddy. Reid knows how to tell a story and I could not wait to see where she was taking her readers with her new Amish Mercies series. Abiding Mercy follows the life of Faith Pinkham. […]
Hi, Shelley! Welcome back to Destination Amish. Tell readers all about your new book, HIS GUILT. Thank you so much! I’m delighted to visit with y’all and chat about HIS GUILT! Basically, HIS GUILT is the story of Mark Fisher, who returns to Horse Cave, KY two years after being unjustly accused of attacking a […]
His Amish Teacher – Sensational, but not Salacious Patricia Davids has been writing in the Amish genre for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to read one of her novels. When I first saw the title, I had my doubts, but His Amish Teacher (third in her Amish […]
