An Amish Christmas Quilt by Charlotte Hubbard, Kelly Long and Jennifer Beckstrand ♥ Book Tour & GIVEAWAY ♥ (Inspirational Romance)

A Willow Ridge Christmas Pageant

Seth Brenneman didn’t expect his holiday would include rescuing pregnant young Mary Kaffman and her two children…or having unexpected feelings for the still-grieving widow. But when they must play the leads in an impromptu live Nativity pageant to help his Amish community, will their roles reveal their hearts—and work a miracle for a lifetime?

A Perfect Amish Christmas

Anna and Felty Helmuth’s grandson, Gideon, plans to spend Christmas on a beach in sunny Mexico. But Anna is quite sure he’d rather be with them, snowshoeing, ice fishing—falling in love. And she knows the perfect girl. Not only is Dottie Schrock an excellent quilter and baker, she’s having a party. There’s just one complication—Gideon is not invited. Dottie has her reasons, but Anna trusts that the spirit of Christmas—and true love-will change her mind, and her future …
A Perfect Amish Christmas

Dottie walked down the hallway to the front entryway and stopped in her tracks. Her stomach fell to her toes and shot back up again as if she were riding an unpleasant roller coaster.

Hat in hand, Gid Stutzman leaned against the doorjamb, his brow cocked and his mouth twisted into a wry grin. His loose brown curls fell across his forehead and his dark eyes flashed with a mixture of amusement and annoyance.

He wasn’t supposed to be here. He should have received Ada’s letter a week ago.

Dottie’s stomach did a double back flip and three somersaults. It had been two years since she had seen Gideon Stutzman and he’d definitely grown up. His shoulders and arms had filled out nicely, and that square jaw and tan face made her heart flutter even as her stomach kept bouncing. But his appearance didn’t matter. She’d always think of him as Junior’s annoying teenage cousin who never stopped teasing her and made a point to make a pest of himself.

He’d sure enough received Ada’s letter, because it dangled casually in his fingers like a used tissue. She swallowed hard. Oh, he was annoyed all right. And it was a good guess the letter had something to do with it.

“Dottie Schrock, I would have a word with you about this letter.”

Her stomach stopped its roller coaster ride and lodged in her throat. “I’m wonderful busy right now,” she managed to squeeze out.

He nodded. “Oh, I’m sure you are.” His other brow rose to meet the first one. “Getting ready for the party I’m not invited to.”

Many moons ago—like, in 1983 while I was still a school librarian—I sold my first story to True Story magazine. This launched me into writing about seventy of those “true confessions” stories over the years, and I’ve been a slave to my overactive imagination ever since. My stories invariably take on a life of their own, different from the way I’ve proposed them: I love it when unforeseen characters and plot twists come along, because they keep me guessing right along with my readers!

I love touring historic homes, trying new recipes, crocheting, and playing with my border collie Ramona—although it’s humbling, having a dog smarter than I am! I’m an ordained Presbyterian deacon, and I devote a lot of time to singing in my church choir and to practicing/performing with our percussion ensemble. I’m celebrating more than thirty-five years with my husband, who—bless him—has never once suggested I get a real job!

    1. Oh my gosh I saw that on my local news this morning in Cleveland! Your state is the "talk of the town" today with the expected snowfall. I'll be thinking of you while enjoying my balmy 50° ;) Thank you for stopping by today, and it was truly a pleasure to learn about you and your books!

    2. Thanks for your thoughts, Lauren! Turns out we've been down-scaled from a Winter Storm Warning to an alert...maybe 2" on the ground. No big deal for us!

    1. Thank you for stopping by! I've always been intrigued by the Amish (not enough to convert, mind you [I love watching Judge Judy too much to give it up!]), but thanks to authors like you, people all over the world can get a taste of that fascinating culture!

    2. The Amish ARE an intriguing people--and not many of us could—or want to—convert! But their lifestyle makes for some interesting research and storytelling.
