Who are your favorite Amish genre authors? Do you have a favorite book? Since I began reading Amish novels a couple
of years ago, I have had several favorite authors. I began by reading Wanda Brunstetter and her
many series of books along with Beverly Lewis, the matriarch of Amish genre
authors.
After Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis, I branched off
to Cindy Woodsmall, Shelley Shepard Gray, and Suzanne Woods Fisher. I would eagerly begin a series and read
straight through, book after book. I was
just beginning my journey of appreciating Christian fiction. I was experiencing the joy of just reading
for pleasure yet finding appropriate messages of hope, love, acceptance, and
forgiveness.
Since I was new to Amish fiction, I would do Google
searches to discover additional authors.
There are so many out there and to date, I have read over 40 different
Amish genre authors. Besides the ladies
named above, here are some of my current favorites:
Jennifer Beckstrand
Barbara Cameron
Vannetta Chapman
Amy Clipston
Mary Ellis
Tricia Goyer
Kelly Irvin
Amy Lillard
Kelly Long
Emma Miller
Olivia Newport
Beth Wiseman
I highly recommend that you Google these excellent authors
and try out some of their novels. I will
write about some of my other favorite Amish fiction authors at another time.
There was another author I came across in my search for
Amish fiction, Hillary Manton Lodge. She
wrote Simply Jayne and Simply Sara. I loved both books and eagerly awaited her
next book. But her next book was A Table by the Window – not in the Amish
genre. I have already read the book and
it is simply delicious. I’ve done a
review for Family Fiction magazine so I will wait until that is published
before I place it on this blog.
