Wanda E. Brunstetter, Beverly Lewis, Kelly Long, and Charlotte Hubbard are several authors of Amish Romance, also considered writers of Inspirational Romance. I find that the Inspirational Romance catagory includes a wider range of authors than does the strictly Amish;
for example, not all of Debbie Macomber and Diana Palmer‘s books are necessarily Christian Romance.
Beverly Lewis straddles all three catagories. Tracie Peterson and Robin Lee Hatcher write Christian and Inspirational Romance. In fact, Christian Romance is also referred to as Inspirational Romance.
Karen Witemeyer‘s Head in the Clouds and Deeanne Gist‘s A Bride in the Bargain are similar Christian Romances. Both heroines travel West to a position as either a governess or bride for the hero, during a similar time period, and in my opinion the romance develops during the resolution of a problem situation.
Listed below are several authors in each catagory.
