MINT HILL, NC – The Mint Hill Library will host local bestselling author Amy Clipston for a speaking event and book signing on Saturday, July 30, from 11:00 am until noon.

Clipston is an award-winning bestselling author of more than 50 books and has been writing for as long as she can remember. She’s sold more than one million novels, and her fiction writing “career” began in elementary school when she and a close friend wrote and shared silly stories.

She is best known for her Amish fiction, including her Kauffman Amish Bakery series, Hearts of the Lancaster Grand Hotel series, Amish Heirloom series, Amish Homestead series, Amish Marketplace series, and her Amish Legacy series. She has two new contemporary romances and has also written young adult books as well as a memoir detailing her journey as a kidney donor for her husband.

Clipston works full-time for the City of Charlotte and lives in Monroe with her husband, two sons, mother, and six spoiled rotten cats. She will have raffle baskets and giveaways at the event. Autographed books will be available for sale.
