It’s that time of year. The time when authors head to the American Christian Writers’ National Conference. It’s three days of teaching, fellowship, and spiritual renewal. I’m excited because this year I’ll co-teach a continuing education session with my good friend James Rubart. We’re calling it pulling back the curtain on publishing, and I can’t wait to dive into the process of writing and publishing.
I love giving back to ACFW by teaching and working with the first time attendees. I wouldn’t be published without the people I’ve met and things I’ve learned through ACFW.
This photo is from the Gala night last year. We’ll hand out awards for the best books in Christian fiction as well as the best in unpublished fiction. It’s such an amazing night of celebrating writers and their books. This group photo below is me and my pals from the Writers Alley. So many published authors and soon-to-be published writers. Love them!
Here’s me with some of my Grove sisters: Sarah Ladd and Courtney Walsh as well as my friend Ashley Clark. 
This photo is from the year before with my friend Susan May Warren. I adore her (and her books!). 
Watch for news and fun to come out of the conference this year. But before I leave you, I wanted to make sure you knew that my legal suspense, Beyond Justice, is on ebook sale for $1.99 in all formats. You can find links to your favorite ebook retailer here.

Cara, I will miss seeing everyone at ACFW this year. I was all scheduled to go and then we had a conflict so I had to cancel. I’m sad about that but I know you will have a blast and give a great workshop. We want details! Give everyone a hug from me!!!
