Releases in 2022

Today I thought I’d share with you what books I have releasing in 2022. I’ve also noted below whether they are new releases or reprints.

The Amish Twins Next Door releases on 4-26-22 and should be available everywhere Harlequin/Love Inspired books are sold. This is a new release and is the last title in my Indiana Amish Brides series. All titles are standalone reads that share the same location (northern Indiana), but have different sets of characters. Learn more at Amazon by clicking here, and on the Harlequin page which will connect you with all other retailers.

A Chance to Heal is a 2-in-1 release that will be available in print or ebook. This includes a reprint of my book, The Baby Next Door. It will be available in stores and on-line 6-28-22. Learn more at Amazon by clicking here, and on the Harlequin page which will connect you with all other retailers.

A Path to Forgiveness is another 2-in-1 release that will be available in print or ebook. This includes a reprint of my book, A Widow’s Hope. It will be available in stores and on-line 8-23-22. Learn more at Amazon by clicking here, and on the Harlequin page which will connect you with all other retailers.

Amish Market Series, book 1. This is a new series that I’m super excited to share with you. I don’t have a title or a cover yet, but I can tell you that it’s the story of one family–5 sisters and a dad. There are 6 books in the series, which means there will be 6 weddings! And of course, all the stories take place at the Amish Market in Shipshewana, Indiana. Book 1 will be a fall/Christmas 2022 release.

My agent is hard at work submitting and hopefully selling a new suspense series, so I hope to have news soon. When I do, you can be sure I’ll share it here as well as on my social media pages.

Happy reading, friends! I’d love for you to comment below with what books you’re looking forward to reading in 2022, and don’t limit it to mine…this is a great place to mention other authors as well.

    I can’t wait for more word on your suspense series!!! I always look forward to new books from my author faves….I have so many favorites my poor budget can’t keep up! But it’s a good problem to have. One must-have is always the newest from Jane Kilpatrick, but there are so many more.

    Love your books. So glad you share your talent. I always share my books with three ladies from my church.

  12. tempewytch on February 1, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    Oooh the suspense one has my ears pricking up, I may check out some of your Amish romances to tide me over though!

  13. Jan S. on February 1, 2022 at 11:14 pm

  15. Deanne Patterson on February 1, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    It always makes my day to see new releases from you. I love them all!

  16. Gloria A on February 1, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    You have some great sounding books coming out. I am trying to catch up on books on my Kindle and read some new books. I always like it when a new printing shows if it is a reprint or new release so that I don’t invest in a book that I have read. Thanks for that.

  17. Elsie on February 1, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    I am looking forward to reading all of them, I would especially like to read the Amish Market series – I love weddings and sounds like some of the series the weddings will be between widows and widowers having that second chance to share life with someone else. Also would like to read A chance to heal and a Path for forgiveness. these should be applicable to our lives we all need healing of some kind of healing to be able to forgive and to receive forgiveness. I read other books by Amy Clipson, Wanda Brandstater, Francine Rivers – love the book Redeeming Love and the movie, Tesa Afshar. Liz Tolsma, Jill Eileen Smith, Biblical fiction, mystery and historical Chirstian, Karen Kingsbury, and many others. The authors and the characters in the books become my friends. Thanks for who you are in the Lord and for being my friend.

  18. Alicia Haney on February 1, 2022 at 11:23 pm

    Hi , your books sound like great reads and the book covers are beautiful! Have a great week and stay safe.

  19. Kathleen S Berman on February 1, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    It all sounds great. Good luck on finding a publisher for your mystery/suspense series. I love mysteries so I am looking forward to reading those.
    6 weddings sounds like a nice series. Can’wait! Thanks.

  20. Raymond G Feyes on February 1, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    Why do authors use the term “padded” in place of “walk or walking?” Seems out of place to me. Does padding require a different type of walking? Inquiring minds want to know. I also taught junior high English plus 1.5 years at a business college. Concluded that junior high students are a sub category of homo sapiens. Love your Amish books.

  21. Jennifer Clark on February 1, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    Oooh, Amish Market Series! I’ll admit I like long series… most of the time. When a certain Christian author wrote a 5 book series with a 4 book series spin-off on repeat, I finally stopped reading around book 20 or 25. I know more came after those, but in my mind they were the lesser characters.

    I’m currently enjoying the Amish Country Brides series by Jennifer Spredemann. They’re definitely different than the normal boy meets girl novels. Today I was ready to finish out the series so I bought the last book and discovered it was only book 3 of 9. It looks like I have more adventures ahead. Book 2 was definitely something I have never read in another book before.

  22. Saundra Callender on February 1, 2022 at 11:33 pm

    The Amish Twins Next Door sounds so cute. I’m looking forward to it!

  23. Vickie on February 1, 2022 at 11:43 pm

    You are going to have a busy year! I love Amish stories. A Path to Forgiveness and a Widow’s Hope sound really good.

  24. sonja on February 1, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    Looking forward to reading every single one of your books! They are always so good!

  25. Trixi on February 1, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    So many books coming out all the time! It’s a reader’s quandary for sure.

    Honestly, my goal for this year is to read as many physical books on my shelf as I can. There are WAY too many that have languished there for far too long 🙂 Authors include, Deborah Raney, Becky Wade, Mary Connealy, Tamera Alexander, Jan Drexler, Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse, Susan May Warren, Terri Blackstock, and a massive variety of Love Inspired books (all lines). That’s just to name a small handful of authors & books!

  26. Kathy Quigley charles on February 1, 2022 at 11:53 pm

    I look forward to your new series and would love to win these books

  110. Dawn on February 14, 2022 at 8:37 am

    I’m curious about the book about twins. I am a surviving twin of what should have been a multiple birth. Plus, with the book set in Indiana, I will probably recognize the place names as I lived in Fort Wayne Indiana for most of my growing up years.

  111. Marilyn Messmann on April 19, 2022 at 5:39 pm

    I can’t wait for the Amish Market Series! I so enjoyed the other Amish series that take place here in Indiana, as we live close to them. If you get too hot in Texas, come to Indiana as we have weird weather. It is 32 tonight, but will be 82 on this weekend, love to have you. Have a great summer
