Today I have the lovely Laura Bickle on the blog for an interview to talk about her book The Hallowed Ones, which is a vampire/post apocalyptic novel based in an Amish setting. She refuses to submit to the Elder’s rule and secretly brings the stranger into her community-but what else is she bringing in with him? But when Katie finds a gravely injured young man lying just outside the boundary of their land, she can’t leave him to die. Unsure why they haven’t yet been attacked, the Amish Elders make a decree: No one goes outside their community, and no one is allowed in. Something is out there…and it is making a killing. It begins with a fiery helicopter crash in the cornfields, followed by rumors of massive unrest and the disappearance of huge numbers of people all over the world. But before Rumspringa arrives, Katie’s safe world starts to crumble. Katie is on the verge of her Rumspringa, the time in Amish life when teenagers are free to experience non-Amish culture before officially joining the church. In this captivating thriller, an Amish settlement is the last safe haven in a world plagued by an unspeakable horror… If your home was the last safe place on earth, would you let a stranger in? The Hallowed Ones Laura Bickle Publication date: September 25th 2012 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
