The Apple Creek Dreams blog is my newest venture in internet publishing.  I am starting it to give all my friends and subscribers the latest information on my new Apple Creek Dreams series, published by Harvest House Publishers.  The first book, “A Quilt For Jenna,” will be published in February of 2013, followed by “The Road Home” in June, and “Rachel’s Choice” in January of 2014.

Set in the real town of Apple Creek, Ohio starting in the 1940’s, the Apple Creek Dreams series will bring to life the Hershbergers and the Springers, Amish families living in the heart of Amish country in Wayne County, Ohio.  The books will feature memorable characters like Jerusha Hershberger-Springer, the master quilter of Apple Creek, Rueben Springer, the Amish man who won the Congressional Medal of Honor on Quadalcanal, Jenny Springer, the little girl adopted by the Springers after they found her lost in the great Thanksgiving Day snowstorm of 1950, and Rachel St. Clair Hershberger,  an Amish teenager who discovers that fate has made her the heir to the fabulous St. Clair fortune.

Along with the Springers and the Hershbergers, the Apple Creek Dreams blog will keep you updated on Amish culture, history and beliefs, and even Amish recipes.  From time to time I hope to have guest posts by some of the top Amish writers, so stay tuned and be sure and subscribe to the Apple Creek Dreams blog.
