Falling to Pieces
Wednesday’s Spotlight: Falling to Pieces
Today I’m so very excited to spotlight my first novel with Zondervan Press–
Falling to Pieces: A Quilt Shop Murder. This book doesn’t release until September, but I’m highlighting it because it popped up on Amazon earlier this week, and is now available for pre-order. Yes, that’s a little crazy, but it’s the way of publishing these days. So I’ll give you a bit of a sneak peek. The following is what my wonderful publicity team put together for the back cover blurb:
In this first book of a three-book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books—faith, community, simplicity, family—with an innovative who-done-it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt.
When two women—one Amish, one English—each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town’s reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer.
Set in the well-known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly-growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.
It’s a murder mystery. It’s Amish, and it’s still all about grace. I had a blast writing this book. Can’t wait to tell you more about it in the weeks and months to come.
