Fans of Amish Fiction discussion

How many different Amish fiction or amish mystery authors have you read? think you can recall then? how about a challenge to read more Amish authors?
1-10 Amish authors are a 'tenative'
11-20 Amish authors are a 'roar of twenties'
21-30 Amish authors are a 'thirtysomething'
31-40 Amish authors are a 'forty and holding'

you can list the authors if you want; to encourage us other readers to find new authors and update some of our favorite authors

In the last year; I have read L. Castillo, Ruth Reid, B. Lewis, Kim Vogel Sawyer, N. Mehl
I will go for the 'roar of the twenties' this year

Since I started using Goodreads and reading Amish fiction, I have read books by:

Sarah Price, Ruth Price, Becca Fisher, Wanda E. Brunstetter, Beverly Lewis, Charlotte Hubbard, Rosalind Lauer, Melanie Schmidt, Beth Wiseman, Patrick E. Craig, Sicily Yoder, Amy Clipston, Jerry S Eicher, Vannetta Chapman, Jennifer Beckstrand, Linda Byler, Tricia Goyer, Suzanne Woods Fisher, Martha Bolton, Shelley Shepard Gray, Patricia Davids, Cynthia Keller, Kathryn Cushman, Naomi King, Laura V. Hilton, Kimberly Stuart, Cindy Woodsmall, Marta Perry, Barbara Cameron, Adina Senft, Anna Schmidt, Kathleen Fuller, Dale Cramer, Mary Ellis, Ruth Reid, Mindy Starns Clark, Karen Harper and Kelly Long.

That is 38 Amish authors for me, "forty and holding."

I read and keep up with their books on a regular basis is about 4. I have expanded reading other authors while waiting for the other new books to come out. I would say right now its under 10.

I'm impressed when I see the many amish authors; and wonder if maybe I missed a 'good read' so, I better get to reading more

I knew I've been reading a lot of different authors, but I didn't realize how many until now, and how many I have to sample as yet!
