John Hostetler.

Not by the Amish, but see:

I suspect authors of Amish romances know squat about the Amish. But that could be totally unfair.
EDITED: I just did a bit of googling to see if I was indeed totally unfair in my last sentence. I didn't find any smoking gun, but this seemed somewhat relevant:

Quote:
What do Amish think about Amish romance novels?
I’ve heard the whole gamut of responses from Amish people about the novels, from Amish folks who like the books to those who are critical of them. Many Amish people I’ve spoken with are aware of the books, curious and a little befuddled about why they’re so popular, but not particularly affectionate or offended by them.
