In September 2008 I
traveled to Minneapolis, MN for the annual American
Christian Fiction Writers Conference. Over 400 published
and aspiring authors came together for three days of
workshops, networking, worship, and appointments with
editors and agents. ACFW also sponsored a huge book
signing at the Mall of America with over 100 Christian
fiction authors. I shared a table with fellow Love
Inspired author, Missy Tippens, and we had a great
time meeting people and talking about our books. |
| One of the highlights
of the ACFW conference was the award banquet on Saturday
night. I was especially excited to attend because my
novella, Moonlight and Mistletoe in A Big Apple Christmas,
was a finalist in the ACFW book of the Year Contest
in the novella category. Sitting with my friend Cathy
Gohlke helped calm my nerves and enjoy the evening. |

After a delicious dinner,
it was a thrill to see my book and photo go up on the
big screen and then hear my name called as the second
place winner. |
| I’m thankful
for my editor Rebecca Germany and all the folks at
Barbour who have given me the opportunity to publish
several of my stories. It was a wonderful evening that
boosted my confidence and motivated me to keep writing! |
