Hi Amy! I just want to thank you for writing the novel "The Forgotten Recipe". When I saw this book displayed at my local library, I just picked it up not knowing what it's about. I enjoy cooking; I thought it was under the travel & cuisine genre. I wasn't disappointed to discover that it's a love story; so beautiful and deeply emotional. I'm interested to know, though, what inspired you focus on the Amish?

Hi Chec! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed "The Forgotten Recipe" so much! It's the first in my new Amish Heirloom series. I had so much fun writing it!
I have always felt a connection to the Amish. My father, who immigrated to the United States with his parents and siblings in 1929, told me that the Amish speak my family’s dialect of German. Since I grew up in northern New Jersey, I visited Lancaster County as a child and my fascination with the Amish way of life grew.After studying other Amish authors and researching the culture, I was inspired to create my own book series.
I have formed a close friendship with an Amish woman during my research, and my friend reads my books and helps with my research.
My Amish Heirloom series if my third Amish series. I'm currently working on book #1 for my fourth Amish series.
