Tell us a little about yourself. This series has been simmering in my heart now for over two years--and I'm so excited to share it with my readers here at Christianbook.com.
What was your motivation behind this project? Several forces were behind my writing this trilogy...especially the fascinating research I was blessed to do into the birth of the New Order Amish, all the while knowing that a "present-day revival" is occurring right now among the Plain people
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Various layers of enjoyment, including a wholesome alternative to secular novels, a compelling story, a non-fiction-style-novel, where the secrets of an exotic society come to light, and a tender love story.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? One of the most powerful ways I was touched by the story, was hearing firsthand how God moved in 1966, when Amish ministerial brethren began reading the whole of Scripture and the eyes of their spiritual understanding were opened for the first time!
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I need daily inspiration, so I look to Jesus for that. Without His help and guidance,I'm simply unable to fulfill His call. My dear Mom had a way of encouraging me (and everyone around her) like no one I've ever known (she's been in heaven now for just 2 years, and I miss her prayers terribly). I adore the writings of C. S. Lewis, A.W. Tozer, Chip Ingram, Calvin Miller and Andrew Murray--not in that order. I think Lynn Austin is rather incredible, as is Liz Higgs, Charles Martin, Lisa Samson, William Trevor, Elizabeth George Speare, Flannery O'Connor...and many, many other favorite novelists and poets.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: This finale to "The Courtship of Nellie Fisher" just went to the printers and will be out in a few weeks--Book Three: The Longing. I'm already deep into my new series with a powerfully emotional story that will keep you awake all night--to be released in summer '09. God bless my wonderful readers--I love you and pray for you.
