Even though Erica Vetsch has set aside her career teaching history to high school students in order to homeschool her own children, her love of history hasn't faded. Erica's favorite books are historical novels and history books, and one of her greatest thrills is stumbling across some obscure historical factoid that makes her imagination leap. She's continually amazed at how God has allowed her to use her passion for history, romance, and daydreaming to craft historical romances that entertain readers and glorify Him. Whenever she's not following flights of fancy in her fictional world, Erica is the company bookkeeper for her family's lumber business, a mother of two terrific teens, wife to a man who is her total opposite and yet her soul mate, and an avid museum patron.

Erica Vetsch recommends

Written in Secret (2025)
(Art of Love and Danger, book 1)
Crystal Caudill
"Danger, mystery, hidden identities, villains, heroes, and gallantry! Everything you would expect in a dime novel, but better! Written in Secret is a rollicking, fast-paced mystery with characters that pop off the page. The wit and intelligence of both the hero and heroine had me rooting for them from the first chapter!"

The Maid of Ballymacool (2023)
Jennifer Deibel
"A slow-building, delicious romance wrapped in a mystery!"

Within These Walls of Sorrow (2023)
Amanda Barratt
"Barratt refuses to look away or ignore the heartbreak and depredations imposed upon the Jews of Poland during the Holocaust. With writing both sensitive and courageous, she brings to life the physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental hardships that those forced into the ghettos endured. In the midst of the sorrow, though, are glimmers of goodness, light, and hope that will encourage the reader that God is still sovereign and that He can be found even in the worst circumstances. Through the power of story, Barratt shows that even the smallest kindness can change a life."
