Happy 2021! We made it! Last year had it’s tough moment for sure. However, there were bright spots too. The bright spots for me was getting married and beginning to build a house/music studio with my husband at our farm in Northeast Ohio. Both of these big events happened in October. My husband is a recording engineer and has dreamed of having a studio since he was young. Now, it’s finally happening. If you’re a musician or know one, you should check out his website Super Sweet Samples. We are so grateful to be where we are today and are making plans for the future.
One of my personal plans has been to bring this blog back. With work and life and trying to balance those two, I haven’t blogged as often as I used to the last several years. As a result, I have made a promise to myself to post a blog every Friday this year. The topics will include news about my books, character visits, recipes, updates on my beloved editors (my cats Cheeps and Tummy), news about our farm, and more.
Most of all, I want to connect more with you, my Dear Readers, and show you a bigger piece of my life than you might get on a social media post. So let’s get started and have some fun!
Come back next week when I’ll be sharing a new recipe! In the meantime, enjoy this bluejay photograph I took at our farm.


Millie Fisher and Lois Henry are back in a second hair-raising adventure! This time they are solving the murder of a young man in a flea market fire. Everyone is determined to blame the fire on the victim, but Millie knows that can’t be true. Can she and Lois convince the police she’s right?
Happy Reading! ❤
Amanda

Happy New Year Amanda and David. Tummy and Cheeps too! I am looking forward to watching your house and studio being built. Looking forward to the next time we have a girlfriends getaway and hope that you can make it.
Looking forward to the new year and all your posts.
Thank you for sharing with your readers. I realize how valuable your time is! Enjoy your adventures ahead!
Loved your beautiful photo of the bluejays and I look forward to reading your blog. I have to say I am thrilled you will be writing 6 books this year. I confess to loving your writing. Courting Can Be Killer was so good! The team of Millie and Lois is great and I love that the series takes place in the same town as the Amish Candy Shop Mystery series. I feel like I know the townspeople!
Thank you so much! I love writing about Harvest and people there. 🙂
So excited to read your blog. The recipes you supply are so good!
Thank you so much!
Just discovered your blog. Now I will be reading that and I have enjoyed your books. I confess I only read them on my kindle. Too many books in my library. With the stay at home order here in calif., I will be willowing our those I do not love anymore.
Happy Birthday!
Congrats on your wedding. An old Irish blessing: May your home always be too small for all of your friends!
God’s Blessing to you and yours for 2021.
