Throughout the day, Librarians are asked numerous questions. Some we are able to answer right off the bat, and some take a little more time and research; rarely are we stumped. But stumped I was the other day when a patron asked “Do you have any Amish fiction books that are written by male authors?” Amish fiction has become quite popular as of late, and I am very used to leading people in the direction of popular Amish fiction authors such as Wanda Brunstetter, Mindy Starns Clark, and Beverly Lewis. I had to stop and think; do I even know of any male Amish authors?! After a little bit of digging and research, I was able to find eight authors!
- Willard Carpenter
- Patrick E. Craig
- Jerry Eicher
- Paul L. Gaus/P.L. Gaus
- David G. Lewis (married to and co-writes with his wife, Beverly Lewis)
- Thomas Nye
- Murray Pura
- Amos Wyse
The Aurora Public Library offers quite a few titles from most of these authors as books and as e-books. And of course we are always happy to help you place an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) on any titles that are not available in our system.
