Arthur McNameeArthur W McNamee is a freelance writer, poet, and former undercover investigator who spent several weeks living within an Amish community in Shipshewana, Indiana in late 2011. He found their generosity, work ethic, local customs, and Puritanical ideas quite refreshing and in stark contrast today's cynical, controlling, and oppressive cultural environment. The Amish are a living snapshot of a much simpler past. They are the embodiment of a time when family and Christian values were the primary focal point of daily life. They were then, as they are now, the most fascinating and enigmatic people on the Earth!In his first novel, Circle of Friends: Murder in an Amish Field, the author entices the reader to take a journey with him to experience this unique culture firsthand. Set within a very suspenseful tale, painted with a fine brush and interwoven with purposeful introspection, the author invites the reader, in a most subliminal way, to ponder on what is utmost important in life and to oneself.
