Persevere and Be Steadfast
If you’re from the Mid-Atlantic, have traveled here, or are familiar with the area at all, you know that one of the area’s claims to fame is its Maryland Blue Crab. I was blessed, not only to be born in Maryland, but to be born into a family of master boat-builders and to a grandfather … Read more Persevere and Be Steadfast

Eternally grateful for Lisa Scottolini I was surprised when I saw that this epic work of historical fiction was written by one of my favorite suspense authors. I was not disappointed, and the suspense, though of a different kind, was still there. Havi ...more |

Another non-stop roller coaster ride I’ve always enjoyed Kubica's books, but I think this is here best by far. I read the entire book in one day while in transit from Colorado to Maryland. I couldn’t out it down. I love a mystery that leaves me guessi ...more |

| I can't say enough about this book. It might just be my favorite Kate Quinn book thus far. The characters are so beautifully developed, and I found rooting for all of them even when they went astray. It's made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me cur ...more | |

“Let me make no bones about it: I write from the standpoint of Christian orthodoxy. Nothing is more repulsive to me than the idea of myself setting up a little universe of my own choosing and propounding a little immoralistic message. I write with a solid belief in all the Christian dogmas.”

“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”

Before I was a writer, I was a librarian, and before that, I was a researcher. Every history major is trained to be a researcher, and that was fine with me. Doing research has always been a favorite pastime of mine. That's why I'm so excited about my next book, Whispering Vines. It compelled me to do a lot of research, and what fun that was!Not only did I read a lot about World War Two and Italy, but I visited some incredible wineries and tasted many different Italian wines. I learned about the War in Italy, Italian culture, art and sculpture, grape harvesting, wine production, and wine tasting. It was truly a labor of love.
While in Italy, I learned about artist and sculpture, Robbia, and knew instantly that his work would play a key role in my book. Robbia isn't given the attention he deserves in the world of art, and I am happy to be able to introduce him to my readers. Find out more about Robbia and the making of fine Italian wine in my new novel, Whispering Vines, to be released in 2016. I'll let you know when you can pre-order it. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, keep reading!
Yours,
Amy Schisler
