Off to Denver!

I’m on my way to Denver for the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference. I can’t wait! I’ll get to see so many friends. Only 4 years ago was my first visit to an ACFW conference and I didn’t know anyone. Now, I have friends I can’t wait to see! I’m also excited to see my editor, Karen Ball, marketing guru from B&H Publishing, Julie Gwinn, new publicist, Jeane Wynn of Wynn-Wynn, and of course my fantabulous agent, Natasha Kern, and her assistant, Becky. It’s going to be a very busy week. I’m excited to hear Donald Maass in his all day workshop on Thursday. I’ll hopefully post some of his tidbits here on Friday. I’m also looking forward to hearing Debbie Macomber, the keynote speaker. She’s always very inspiring and encouraging. And of course, she gave me a wonderful quote for Elvis Takes a Back Seat. Friday night, I’ll be having dinner with my wonderful editor and marketing guru, plus other B&H authors. What fun! Then Saturday is the signing at the Denver Marriott Tech Center. I hope you’ll come if you’re in the area. It’s from 4-5:30. Finally, Saturday night is the big banquet where the Book of the Year awards and Genesis awards are announced. I look forward to cheering for my many friends who are nominated. My book, Lookin’ Back, Texas, is also a nominee. I can’t wait for that evening because my agent always sits with her authors who are attending. Candace Calvert and Julie Lessman and I always laugh and laugh and laugh. It’s a delightful evening! I will try to blog and twitter about the events this week and next.
