Meet Author: Amy Clipston
Author and Reader Dating Match with Giveaway!
July 1, 2016
Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the
"Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in
love with. It's our great pleasure to present Amy Clipston. Writes: Amish fiction, with my latest release THE COURTSHIP BASKET , book
#2 in my Amish Heirloom
series, hitting shelves June 28, 2016 About: Forty-something romance author seeks readers for sweet
and emotional Amish novel, with an outspoken, quick-tempered heroine who’s all
but given up on love after having her heart broken and a workaholic hero, who
carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and is burdened with caring for
his six-year-old younger brother and chronically ill father.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Their idea of the perfect date includes a Saturday night in with their
e-reader/or paperback, a box of chocolate and perhaps a diet soda...
- Dreams of horses and buggies
- Falls easily in love with hardworking heroes dressed in suspenders and straw
hats
- Likes sweet, inspirational stories with touches of humor
- Doesn't mind reading about delicious recipes and baked goods
- Enjoys a fast-paced, emotional plot
- Wants to learn more about the Amish culture
- Prefers family dramas with deep emotional themes
- Thinks a visit to Amish Country is an ideal way to spend a family vacation
- Loves family oriented movies like you find on Hallmark Channel
What to expect if we're compatible:
Years ago, a picnic basket brought two hearts together. For Rachel
and Mike, history may be about to repeat itself.
Rachel Fisher is devastated when the young man she’s loved for years leaves
her to date her best friend. Her heart is broken, and she has all but given up
on love. Determined to keep her mind off the pain, she starts teaching at an
Amish school for children with learning disabilities.
Since his father became ill, Mike Lantz has been overwhelmed with the
responsibility of providing for his family and caring for his six-year-old
brother, John. When John joins Rachel’s class and she learns that his mother is
deceased and his father sick, she desperately wants to help the family, even
with something as simple as a meal.
With her parents’ old picnic basket, Rachel begins sending food to the Lantz
family. As the weeks go by, John’s grades start to improve, and the attraction
grows between Rachel and Mike. They can’t deny that their friendship is growing
toward something more, but both of them are hesitant to risk a more serious
relationship.
The last thing Rachel wants is another heartbreak, and Mike is worried about
providing for his loved ones. Will the two be able to reconcile their past hurts
with new hope for the future?
