This week on Amish Wisdom we are welcoming Kathleen Fuller back to the show. Kathleen is the best-selling author of the Hearts of Middlefield series for adults and the YA series Mysteries of Middlefield. Kathleen joined us last August (along with her co-authors, Barbara Cameron, Beth Wiseman and Kelly Long) to talk about her book An Amish Christmas. This time Kathleen is back to talk about her new book, Treasuring Emma. (Kathleen was last week’s Author Spotlight – click here for the interview and a chance to win a copy of her book.) We’ll also catch up with Kathleen and find out what she’s been up to in the last year.

About Kathleen: I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and now make my home in beautiful Geneva, Ohio. I’ve been married to James for 18 wonderful years (really, they have been wonderful!)  We have three terrific children, three dogs, and an overwhelmed cat. We have also raised cattle, pigs, and chickens at various times over the years. We would have gone into the goat business, but I had to draw the line somewhere. I started writing in 2000, and published my first short story a year later. Since then I have authored several short stories, novellas, novels, and have done a lot of freelance non-fiction work. I have also worked as an editor. I have a Masters degree in Special Education, emphasis on teaching the blind and visually impaired, and a Bachelors in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. I have taught all age groups ranging from age 4 to age 18. A few of my favorite things: my relationship with Christ, chocolate (of course!), autumn, a satisfying book, good friends, a sense of humor, people who don’t take themselves seriously, haunting melodies, NFL football, and did I mention chocolate?

About Treasuring Emma: Book One in the Middlefield Family Series

Emma always put the needs of others ahead of her own.

Now her heart is torn between two men. But will either truly treasure her?

Adam was Emma’s first love, but two years ago he left Middlefield, set on experiencing the freedom of living in the Yankee world. In his wake, he left Emma’s shattered heart. Now Adam is back and Emma’s heart is breaking for other reasons.
