Wendy Rich Stetson – Romance Lives Forever

Heartsong Hills by Wendy Rich Stetson

Genre Sweet Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

Amish girls don’t dance. Dancing is against the rules, and Nora Beiler always follows the rules…until a runaway logging truck shatters her world forever. Desperate to heal from the accident, she enrolls in Shuffle off to Fitness, an exercise class at the local senior center. She never dreamed it involved tap-dancing…or just how much she’d love to dance.

Exiled from Nashville, country music star Tucker McClure has no one to blame but himself. Weekly gigs at the local farmers’ market keep the demons at bay. The last thing he expects is to find himself in an old folks’ fitness class…dancing with a girl who makes him question everything he ever thought he wanted.

Will the past drive Nora and Tucker apart? Or can love bridge the gap between hearts and worlds?

Why did you write this book? After finishing Hometown, book 1 in my series, I knew I had to write Nora’s story next. If Hometown has a villain, it’s Nora. But no villain thinks of herself as a villain. She says what she says and does what she does out of love—and in Nora’s case, out of deep hurt caused by a tragedy in her past. After watching her brother Jonas find happiness, Nora deserved her own happily ever after, and she gets it in the most unexpected and delightful way.

What is your favorite genre to read? Do I have to choose??? I love romance of course, but I also love middle readers, YA, historical fiction, and romcoms!

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)? Lately, I’m obsessed with the audiobooks of Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant “Outlander” series. Davina Porter’s narration is brilliant, and I love Claire Fraser! I love her smarts and her resourcefulness and her spunk!

What are you working on at the moment? Shooting Sunshine, book 3 of the Hearts of the Ridge series is in the early stages. As with the other two, it will feature a romance between one Amish and one “English” character. I’m also in the editing phase of a middle reader ghost story which is lots of fun!

What books will we see from you in coming months? Look for Shooting Sunshine, next! I’m also working on a Hearts of the Ridge novella which I’ll give away free to my newsletter subscribers. In Heartsong Hills, readers get to know Amish pretzel maker Annie Amos. I think her rebellious youth and tempestuous love story will give fans of the series a big smile.

They say you can’t go home again, but for Tessa Meadows going home was easy. Figuring out how to leave, however, just might drive her crazy. “Hometown,” Wendy Rich Stetson’s sweet, small-town romance, is coming on August 11th.

Wendy, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Hometown.

Hometown by Wendy Rich Stetson

Genre Sweet Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13

When Tessa’s big-city plans take the A Train to disaster, she lands in her sleepy hometown, smack in the middle of the most unlikely love triangle ever to hit Pennsylvania’s Amish Country.

Hot-shot Dr. Richard Bruce is bound to Green Ridge by loyalty that runs deep. Deeper still is Jonas Rishel’s tie to the land and his family’s Amish community. Behind the wheel of a 1979 camper van, Tessa idles at a fork in the road. Will she cruise the superhighway to the future? Or take a slow trot to the past and a mysterious society she never dreamed she’d glimpse from the inside?

Why did you write this book?

The short answer is Oprah made me do it! Not long after I finished acting school in the early 2000s, an episode of her show featured romance writers. I thought, “I could do that,” every bit as naive as I was to think a starring role on Broadway would arrive on my doorstep tied up in a red ribbon. Ten years passed before I made my Broadway debut…and another ten passed before that sweet romance about a red-haired girl looking for her place in the world finally found its way to publication.

What is your favorite genre to read?

Picking a favorite genre is like picking a favorite child! I can’t do it! I love romance, chick lit, middle readers, YA, and the classics, just to name a few.

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

Lately, I’m obsessed with the audiobooks of Diana Gabaldon’s brilliant “Outlander” series. Davina Porter’s narration is brilliant, and I love Claire Fraser! I love her smarts and her resourcefulness and her spunk!

What are you working on at the moment?

I’m in the thick of writing the second book in the Hearts of the Ridge series, in which an unlikely character from “Hometown” gets her long-awaited happily ever after.

What books will we see from you in coming months?

Book two is on its way, followed by a third after that! All three Hearts of the Ridge romances are set in Green Ridge, PA and feature one Amish and one “English” character. They’re sweet and funny and heartfelt, and I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
