Hurry! Giveaway ends July 1. Keep reading to learn the story behind the latest release in the Inn at Eagle Hill series.

The Revealing is the third of the ‘Inn at Eagle Hill’ series, so there is a story arc that wrapped up, answering some dangling questions. But within that larger story arc, there is a new character who entered the scene with a story of her own. Her job was to be a professional art restorer, but her talent took her a little too far—she became a forger. It was a fascinating discovery to learn about copying—which artists have been copied most often, signs of a how to identify a forgery, how to duplicate a signature.

It must be my curious streak—but I love, love, love learning about new things and trying to weave them into a story. Challenging, too, to keep it in the context of Amish fiction. In The Calling, I learned about schizophrenia. In The Letters, I read up on investments fraud.

The challenge in The Revealing was to wind up all the loose ends into a nice, neat ball of yarn. There were all kinds of twists and turns going on—with people, even with animals! It took a lot of care to bring it all together into a satisfying conclusion. I hope I did. I think I did!

When readers get to the last page, I hope they feel a little bit closer to God. My stories aren’t meant to use a 2×4 on anybody’s head to get them to consider faith, but to be interested in learning more about God. Also, I hope that readers will want to read another one of my books. That’s what happens to me after I read a good book—I want to read more of that author.
