Suzanne Woods Fisher

Author Bio:

Suzanne Woods Fisher is a bestselling author of Amish fiction and non-fiction and the host of a weekly radio program called "Amish Wisdom." She has twenty books under contract with Revell--eight published, twelve to come...she's contracted all the way into 2016. "The Waiting" was a finalist for a 2011 Christy Award. "The Choice" was a finalist for a 2011 Carol Award. "Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World" and "Amish Proverbs: Words of Wisdom from the Simple Life" were both finalists for the ECPA Book of the Year (2010, 2011).

Her interest in the Amish began with her grandfather, W.D. Benedict, who was raised Plain. She has many, many Plain relatives living in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and travels back to Pennsylvania, as well as to Ohio, a couple of times each year for research.

Suzanne has a great admiration for the Plain people and believes they provide wonderful examples to the world. In both her fiction and non-fiction books, she has an underlying theme: You don't have to "go Amish" to incorporate many of their principles--simplicity, living with less, appreciating nature, forgiving others more readily-- into your life.

When Suzanne isn't writing or bragging to her friends about her first new grandbaby (!), she is raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. To Suzanne's way of thinking, you just can't take life too seriously when a puppy is tearing through your house with someone's underwear in its mouth.
