Merry Christmas and a Giveaway!

Happy holidays everyone.  Once again, I am behind on this blog.  Much to report again!  An Amish Christmas and Plain Promise are both on the CBA and ECPA bestseller lists!  Thanks so much to readers for putting them both on these lists.  I'm super honored! 

Plain Paradise, book #4 in the Daughters of the Promise series, will release in March.  I can't wait for everyone to read this one.  I think it's my best book yet.  Hoping readers will agree!

Okay...my New Year's resolution (and I don't make many!) is to keep up with this blog on a regular basis.  But, I want it to be interesting to those subscribed.  What would you like to see here?  Updates on my books?  New Amish recipes I try for inclusion in the books?  Some of my favorite books?  More about my personal life?  My writing life?  Tips/advice for new writers?  Let me know, and I'll really try to work towards your suggestions this next year!  

 
Now, I'd like to give away a copy of one of my books.  Just post a comment under this blog post, and I'll draw a winner on January 1.  If chosen, you can choose any one of my books, and I'll mail you a signed copy! 

  Plain Perfect - book #1 in the Daughters of the Promise series. 

CBD, CBA, and ECPA Bestseller
  Plain Pursuit - book #2 in the Daughters of the Promise series.

CBA and ECPA Bestseller
  Plain Promise - book #3 in the Daughters of the Promise series.

    Ok, I have all the books and don't want to deprive anyone who hasn't gotten one, but I would love to share the books with someone who is a little down on her luck. So I submit an entry for her, if it is picked I will send her the book. I think all the books are great and are a wonderful pick me up when you just aren't feeling great. God does work in mysterious ways and I think these books bring a little happines into everyone who reads them.

    Hi Beth, I would definitely enjoy recipes and reading more about you as both an author and a regular gal. It is always nice to know the person behind the books. I haven't actually read any of your books yet (on my to-do list) but I wanted to say that I very much enjoy books in this genre. I am not Christian (I am Muslim) and I find the characters so easy to identify with and feel close to even though we have some differences in religious beliefs. I wanted to let you know that you have readers from all different backgrounds.

    I would love to win a autograph book from Beth Wiseman. She is the greatest author. I enjoy reading her books and she needs to keep writing. I enjoy reading the amish books. My husband and I have met some of the amish people and they are very nice and friendly and they welcome us with open arms and invited us to come back to visit with them. Some day I would love to go back and visit with them.

    As for what to include at your blog, Amish recipes would be lovely, as anything you've discovered in your research for these books would be interesting. Having a few Amish and Mennonite friends, this book has given me a glimpse into their lifestyle.

    Good luck with your writing!

    Hi Beth, I have to say that reading your first book of the daughters series was amazing to me. I loved the book so much. I could not put it down. I would love to have the others in this series but I am not working as I was seriously injured almost two years ago at work and I have not been able to go back to work yet. I am in school now and hope to work again very soon. I can not afford to get the other books at this time. I was fortunate to get this first book (Plain Perfect) at dollar general and It cost much less then the big named stores. So thank you very much for that. I am hoping to read the others very soon. I thank you again for these books. They are a wonderful read. Deby Garcia

    Dear Beth,
    Happy New Year to you, I pray that God will bless you in this new year. I must say again how very much I enjoyed the Daughters of Blessing series, I can't wait until March for the new one.
    I am sooo excited to find a new favorite author as I read and re-read books waiting for new ones to be released from my favorite authors.
    I fully realize it takes a whole lot longer to write a book than read one. I enjoy the depth of your characters and am going to purchase Amish Christmas so that I can have more of your inspiring work.
    Thank You
