SEPTEMBER, already? Isn't it hard to let summer go? In California, it feels like we're finally getting summer. It seems odd to have a holiday book releasing when the weather is 90+ degrees, but that's what's going on in my book world! And here's a few other exciting things that include you ... 

 

First, meet me in St. Louis! (Isn't that a song?!) I'm going to slip out of the ACFW conference this weekend to be at LifeWay Books. Please come by if you can! It's such a delight to meet readers, face to face. And I love supporting our faithful Christian bookstores.

 

Saturday, September 24th, 11-1

Bridgeton LifeWay Christian Store 

Orchard Bend
11977 St. Charles Rock Road, Suite 130
Bridgeton, MO 63044

Second, A Lancaster County Christmas released on September 1st and it's already in its third printing! Enter to win an iPad (see below) and there's a terrific wrap-up party planned on Facebook for Tuesday, September 27th, 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern. You're invited! Contests, giveaways, and lots of good stuff-including a grand prize of an iPad! Don't miss the fun! RSVP here.

 

Third, I'll be traveling quite a bit in October for book events (anyone live near Chicago or Tampa? If so, check my website for dates and locations!). And on November 12th-I hope you can join me for "Dinner with the Author" in an Amish home at Garden Gate Getaway B&B in Millersburg, Ohio. Click here for more info about this wonderful weekend!

 

Fourth, pop over to my new regular blog at Christian Post - the largest source of on-line news for Christians. My posts about Amish principles for your family run on the 1st and the 15th.  Excited to learn that it's already considered a "Most Popular Blog" for CP.

 

Fifth, don't miss Amish Wisdom on Thursday! The dynamic Sherry Gore will be interviewing Wanda Brunstetter and Georgia Varozza about Amish cooking. All three have brand new Amish Cookbooks to giveaway!
