The Matchmaker – Another Winner – review by Susan Scott Ferrell After reading Sarah Price’s novel First Impressions, the first in her Amish Classics series, I was greatly anticipating the release of her second in the series, The Matchmaker. Price has incredible skill at being able to take a Jane Austen classic and turn it […]
In my newest Amish romance, Huckleberry Spring, Amish mammi and matchmaker extraordinaire Anna Helmuth has a problem. Her grandson Ben broke off his engagement to Emma Nelson and moved to Florida. Most mammis would decide Ben was long gone and give up hope. Not Anna. She knows deep in her heart that Ben and Emma […]
I’m sitting here in sunny South Carolina, watching the weather forecast which tells me that at home in our central Pennsylvania valley, still more snow and cold weather is predicted. Any guilt I feel at enjoying the sunshine while my friends back home are shivering is balanced by the reminder that I couldn’t do anything […]
The Amish fiction genre has exploded over the last few years. Lewis and Brunstetter used to lead the pack and then there were a few outliers. Some of the newer authors, like Kelly Irvin, have set themselves apart – in a good way. As a reader, it is often difficult to discern what will be […]

Dear Reader, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! The crisp, cool air feels a little sweeter and stores are filling their shelves with greeting cards and candies. But instead of sharing the usual gifts, the way to someone’s heart can be through a story (and maybe a little bit of chocolate). Hachette Book Group […]
I happen to love doing research. Its way more fun than typing out a novel. Happily, for me, research and writing about the Amish do go hand in hand. I’ve learned about goats, about quilting, about alpacas and sheep and shunning all in an effort to make my Amish stories believable and accurate. I hope […]
I am so excited about my new release! If you like Amish, books, and romance this is the story for you! I enjoyed seeing how the story moved and changed in Love’s Abundant Harvest, especially the main female character. She grew in leaps and bounds! I hope you enjoy the read. Blessings! Beth is graciously […]
