Writing Amish Mysteries
Amish mystery. Does the term have you scratching your head? At first it did me the same way. But so many books later and I can’t imagine my world without them.
Truthfully, I sort of fell backward into writing mystery novels.

Elizabeth Harris, formerly of the NYC police department, now lives in rural Amish country in Pennsylvania. She helped solve the murder of an Amish girl and now has a better rapport with the community than most law enforcement officials.
In Heavenly, Pennsylvania, the Amish live in peace and harmony, or at least that’s the goal. Strife and problems can arise anywhere though. Claire Weatherly is English and not Amish. She owns Heavenly Treasures, a store that sells crafts made by the Amish. Unfortunately, the items that sell and are fastest to make are all small which means her sales totals are small too. She’s in danger of losing the store and is sick at heart about it. She hasn’t even told her Aunt Diane yet, owner of the local B&B for those seeking the Amish experience.
