I’m so glad you stopped by to visit the website dedicated to my inspirational romances—both my Amish fiction that is published by Berkley Books and the inspirational romance and romantic suspense I write for Love Inspired. Nothing gives me more pleasure than hearing from readers, so I hope you’ll e-mail me. I’ll be happy to reply with a signed bookmark and my free brochure of Pennsylvania Dutch recipes. Since I come from a long line of women who were only happy when they were feeding people, I enjoy sharing recipes. You’ll also find some on the recipe page of this site.

This is such a busy time of year, for writers as for everyone else. The first book in my Pleasant Valley Amish series, Leah's Choice, came out in November, and I have a Love Inspired Suspense, Twin Targets, arriving in stores in January. You can read more about each of them on this page, and don't forget to check out the excerpt of the book.

Since I’ve spent my life in rural Pennsylvania, introducing the Amish into my fiction seemed very natural to me. Several of my earlier Love Inspired books featured Amish minor characters, but it was a special joy to create a new series for Berkley with Amish main characters. This also gave me the opportunity to write longer, more layered and emotional books, and that has been very satisfying. I hope you’ll enjoy reading them. LEAH’S CHOICE will be followed by RACHEL’S GARDEN in March and ANNA’S RETURN in June. I just recently saw the cover for ANNA’S RETURN, and it is lovely—a perfect depiction of the farms that grace our valley.

With the coming of cold weather, my husband and I have headed south for the winter. Whatever the weather in your part of the world, I hope you enjoy times with loved ones and good friends. Stay warm, stay healthy, and don't forget to curl up with a good book! Please stay in touch--you can find my page on Facebook or drop by my blog for the latest news.

Blessings,
Marta
