ACFW: What a Difference a Year Makes!

It’s amazing the difference a year can make in a writing career. Last year at this time I was counting down the days to conference, fretting over one sheets and pitches and which agents I’d be talking to. This year I haven’t had much time to think about the conference, though I’ve helped plan the [...]

Never Stop Learning

When people start talking about writing conferences, many authors get sweaty palms, second guess their sanity in signing up for agent/ editor appointments and imagine locking their hotel room doors and never coming out until it’s time to go home.  I’m guilty of all three. More than once. And even after attending conferences for over six [...]

ICRS Interview: John Morgan, President Bush Impersonator

Even though I knew I was interviewing John Morgan, President Bush Impersonator, when I passed him in the hall flanked by two men in dark suits, I did a double take. John Morgan was a delight to speak with and his story is very inspiring. You never know where God may lead you, but he’s [...]

When the dream’s big enough, the facts don’t matter

Several years ago, my husband bought me a laptop and, ever so romantically said, “Here, now go write something.” And, being the ever obedient wife, I did. Months later. I’d started reading Kristen Billerbeck‘s Ashley Stockingdale books because (are you ready for this?) I liked the covers. A voracious reader, I’d never picked up Christian [...]

My best advice

Early on in my writing journey, my quest for publication, I received a bit of advice that at first I balked but now, in clear hindsight, value more than any other counsel I was offered.    I was never a big reader.  In school I skimmed, jumped, skipped, and trotted through books, pulling out the [...]
