About this author

Marta Perry is a Pennsylvania-based author of over 35 novels, many of them inspirational romances. She uses her rural Pennsylvania life and her Pennsylvania Dutch heritage in writing her books, especially in her Pleasant Valley Amish series for Berkley Books and her new Amish-set suspense series for HQN Books.

Marta and her husband live in a centuries-old farmhouse in a quiet central Pennsylvania valley. They have three grown children and six beautiful grandchildren, and when she's not busy writing her next book, she's usually trying to keep up with her gardening, baking for church events, or visiting those beautiful grandkids.

Two for Sorrow by Nicola Upson
My rating:

add to my books
I've been enjoying the Nicola Upson books with Josephine Tey as protagonist. This one was very good, but it seemed to me to be rather darker than the first two.

The Blue Hackle by Lillian Stewart Carl
My rating:

add to my books
I really enjoyed this book, the latest in this series. The setting on the Isle of Skye is unique and fascinating, and I enjoy the ghostly touches in this series. I'll be starting on one of the author's other series soon.

Marta Perry Hi, Janie,
I'm glad you're enjoying my books. Lost in Plain Sight is actually an e-novella, just a little extra between books. The third book is Danger in Plain Sight, coming out in June. And in July there's another novella in the series, which will be in book form in an Amish suspense anthology called Dark Crossings.

Best,
Marta


Janie  R. Thanks for adding me, Marta! I have so enjoyed reading your books! I am looking forward to reading your Amish Suspense series, by the way, is Lost in Plain Sight the #3 book in the series? I noticed it was only available in Nook.
