Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Thomas Nye, author of the beloved Amish Horses Series, writes Christian romance novels with a historical flare and a touch of humor.

During grade school, Thomas developed an interest in history by reading anything he could find about horses and early American history. As a teenager, he moved to an area with a large Amish population, and it was as if he had fallen into his favorite book. His love of farm life, history, and horses all came together in real-life experiences with his Amish friends, who also happen to share his Christian faith. Thomas purchased draft horses from Amish farmers in his neighborhood and set out to learn the art of working with horses in harness. After years of buying, selling, and trading workhorses with Amish farmers in his community, Thomas had many wonderful memories of those experiences. The Amish Horses Book Series is a set of novels based on those adventures. Under the Heavens (Book I) was published in December 2013. He followed with Catbird Singing (Book II) 2015, English River (Book III) 2016; his other novels include Samson and Amish Delilah 2019, and Remain True: Amana 2023.

Thomas also has two published novellas, Whispering to Horses 2015 and Amish Park 2017. He has contributed to numerous anthology books as well. His blog, amishhorses.blogspot.com has attracted worldwide attention as a source of information about Amish life and also serves as his website to keep readers informed about his current works. The blog highlights draft horses and a glimpse of Thomas' experiences on the edge of an Amish community.

Thomas and his wife, Shari, live in Eastern Iowa on an acreage her grandparents purchased in 1918. They have 5 grown children and 9 grandchildren.

Will the real Delilah please stand up?

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019

This book is a wonderful example of learning to forgive yourself for mistakes you have made in the past. We can’t change the past, but we can make the present better. In this book the two main characters each have a past as teenagers that they have regrets from. I loved the way the author brought them together in a story that spans from the teenage years to the present.

I thought the writing was good and Delilah was a wonderful young woman who has tried to overcome a mistake she made in the past. Living the Amish life can be difficult for young people and Delilah has lived with a secret for a long time. When a book comes out about an Amish girl named Delilah , people go crazy trying to find who the real Delilah is from the book.

Dave has been sent to find the Delilah that was written in the book and get a picture of her. Most of us know that the Amish don’t allow pictures taken of them but Dave is determined to succeed because he needs the money. I found it quite interesting how the author used Princess Diana in comparison with Delilah. The paparazzi were relentless in pursuing Princess Diana and the same thing was happening with Delilah. The fascination of this young woman was spreading rapidly and I could feel the tension when the paparazzi were getting close to identifying Delilah.

I liked the way the author tells a story of forgiveness loosely using a story from the Bible. It is easy to understand how something from your past can affect your future in this story of forgiveness and faith. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to overcome. I have found that when you do forgive, you feel a big weight has been lifted off your shoulder. I am looking forward to the follow up book that the author has hinted at.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

SAMSON & AMISH DELILAH by Thomas Nye

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

SAMSON & AMISH DELILAH by Thomas Nye is the fabulously well-written story about Dave, an Englischer, who’s trying to find the real Amish Delilah that his Dad portrayed when he wrote the book “Samson and Delilah”, and Delilah, an Amish girl who works as a waitress at DJ’s, the local diner, to help support her family.

Dave sets out to find the real Amish Delilah that the book was written about in order to get photographs of her. The photographs will earn him a substantial amount of money. Enough that when added to his savings would allow him to fulfill his dream of opening a restaurant. Everyone is in love with the Amish Delilah though leading many others trying to find her as well to collect the money. Through conversations with his mother, his Christian beliefs and wanting to do what is right, he knows that after he finds her that he won’t take the photos without her permission and her understanding of how the photos would change her life.

Delilah’s family is struggling financially but thriving emotionally. Her Dad suffered injuries from a buggy accident that left him confined to a wheelchair making it virtually impossible for him to be the main bread winner for the family. Delilah, being the oldest child, has always stepped in to do everything possible for her family from making cinnamon rolls that they deliver to the local diner every morning before 6 a.m. and working as a waitress at the same place to taking on all the household chores and caring for the smaller children while her Mom was at the hospital with her Dad. The money Dave is offering would ease their financial burden with all the medical bills, but not worth sacrificing their religious beliefs to do so. That being the case and after meeting and getting to know Delilah and her family, Dave is in agreement with them although the thoughts of the payoff still dance in his hear. Dave offers to take Delilah away to a family member’s house in another state to avoid all the paparazzi that he knows will eventually find her just as he did. Little five year old Earl also goes with them making it more acceptable for an unmarried woman to be alone with an unmarried man for the long journey. Their trip ends up being full of both detours and exciting adventures – some fun and some dangerous.

Did Dave find the real Amish Delilah from his Dad’s book? Does helping Delilah mean giving up on his dreams? Is it just a coincidence that the first and only girl he’s ever fallen head over hills in love with and the Amish girl working at the dinner having the same name? Can Dave manage to keep Delilah safe and away from the camera lens? Did Dave’s Dad write his book as sort of a road map for his son? Is there even a hint of that answer in the title? Will Dave end up finding more than the real Delilah?

SAMSON & AMISH DELILAH is a book that you won’t want to put down once you start reading. The story is compelling as the author lays out the bases for the story, leads you around the curves in the story which involve the past and the present, and up and downs of elation and despair while detouring the main road blockings as Dave searches for answers and happiness. Thomas Nye proves that Amish and Englischer can come together in a story showing some of both societies and how in some ways that are very much alike and how we can learn from each other. He shows how romance can be sweet while maybe not entirely innocent and how it can be told in a way that you wouldn’t mind your young teenager reading it.

For a wonderful reading experience, please take my recommendation and read SAMSON & AMISH DELILAH. You will not be disappointed! A must read if you love the Amish genre, a sweet romance or just a wonderfully written book. I’d give it more if possible, but since I can’t I give it a big 5+ stars.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

"Samson and Amish Delilah" is a unique story about Amish living and mystery.

This book is told from through the viewpoint of Dave (aka Samson) a non-Amish person who is looking to find a young Amish girl, Delilah, who is a star in a popular book. Many people are searching for the real Delilah. He expects to find a local celebrity, instead, he finds a young Amish girl. We see Delilah's life struggles with so many fans. Everyone wants to get a picture of her and with her. Getting their picture taken in Amish culture is a no-no. Will Dave help Delilah get away from the paparazzi or will he get a photo of her and make money?

Each character is believable with realistic flaws and feelings. Delilah had many things happened to her in the past, but she didn't seem to dwell on it. She seems like such a sweetheart. This is a wonderful contemporary Christian Amish novel. There is a little bit of everything in this book. It contains a mystery, light romance, and culture. Thomas Nye did a great job putting many life lessons into the story. The main theme is forgiveness, redemption and trusting God will be there for you through thick and thin. There are so many twists and turns. The pace is really well done. I could see this book being made into a Hallmark movie. I would recommend reading this book.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
