Welcome to the Sunrise Family

The three authors who will be writing for the Big Sky Amish Collection are:

Christen Krumm – Christen is the author of the young adult romcom It Happened At Christmas. She lives with her husband and three barefoot wildings in the middle of the world, Oklahoma. She drinks way too much coffee and reads too many books, but creating stories with her Creator is her favorite. Visit her at christenkrumm.com and listen to her podcast, Exploring the Blank Page.

Cathy Elliott – Cathy is a full-time writer in northern California whose cozy mysteries reflect her personal interests from quilting and antique collecting to playing her fiddle with friends. She also leads music at church and cherishes time with her grandchildren. Cathy’s cozy plot-twisters include A Vase of Mistaken Identity, Medals in the Attic, and A Stitch in Crime. In her early author days, she wrote ten children’s books for an educational publisher and is delighted they are still in print, fifteen years later. She is also a contributing author to Guideposts’ devotional books, Everyday With Jesus and All God’s Creatures (2019 – 2023). Last year, she joined the Someone Cares Cards Team at Guideposts, a box she longed to check because sending sweet, meaningful cards to her friends and family is the best kind of reward. Visit her at cathyelliottbooks.com.

Elly Gilbert – lives in central Kentucky with her husband, daughter, and twin sons. A lifelong bookworm, she finds joy in reading and writing inspirational fiction and devotions for adults and teens. When she’s away from her desk, you can find her scoping out the nearest nacho joint with her family or snuggled up with her rescue dogs, Gus and Bella. She adores leopard print, never turns down dessert, and believes that when it comes to earrings, bigger is always better.  Visit her at ellygilbert.com.

The first three books in the Big Sky Amish Collection will release in 2023 and the remaining three in 2024. The Collection will be available in ebook and print versions (and, when appropriate, in audio format).
