My experience at #ACFW2015

Well, it’s over and I lived to tell about it. Anybody whose been to a big conference knows what I’m talking about. They told us 465 people paid to be at this year’s convention for writers who center God and Jesus in their reason for writing. The American Christian Fiction Writers annual conference was held… Continue reading My experience at #ACFW2015

Stop this blogging train. I need to get off!
