Many of us are at ACFW this year. I thought I’d share the beginning of the experience with you. The conference officially starts today, but here are some photos last night. ACFW is a great conference for aspiring to multi-published authors. We spend several days in workshops, appointments, and hanging out. I hope you enjoy these photos with some of my friends.
A quick photo with the amazing Candice Calvert. She writes great medical romances.
With the amazing Sarah Ladd, Julie Klassen and Rachel McMillian.
The view from the hotel room…
With Traci Hilton, Bethany McManus, Ashley Clark. So fun to meet new friends and hang with mentees.
I love these gals! Ashley Clark and Casey Herringshaw
With Mary Vee, another fun lady and alley cat
Adore this woman! Pepper Basham.
My roommate for the week, the amazing Kristy Cambron.

Welcome to St. Louis! We hope you enjoy your stay…..The weather has sure been cooperating!
I love being down here by the Arch, Mary. Great downtown.
Looks like you are having a great time…can’t wait to read the books that come from all that camaraderie and encouragement. Thanks for sharing with us.
I’m excited about that, too, Rosie. There is such energy here.
Great Photos Cara and nice to meet new friends too! Have a wonderful time at the Conference. From past experience at my Nurses Conferences, the tongues sure will be wagging and the camaraderie absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait for you to share about it in your next post! LOL
Cheers
Rosie (in Aus)
PS Do hope you enjoyed yourself in the UK and your presentation went well.:)
The camaraderie is AMAZING! And the trip to England was wonderful. The best part was getting to sleep. Parents of young kids understand 🙂
I’m so excited! I’m an DFW airport now waiting to board my flight to St. Louis. I never sleep well the night before a trip, thus I’m already exhausted. :)) See you (and many of the other Inspired by Life authors) there! We definitely need to get a photo together.
Cannot wait to see you, Becky! And you are so right — there is something about anticipation of conferences makes for a rough night’s sleep.
Oh, such fun! Wish I were there…..
I wish you were, too, Linda. Maybe next year!
Oh such fun! I can just hear the laughter! Wish I were there. I hate missing it this year.
Hate you aren’t here, too 🙁
Always love seeing the ACFW pics of my fave writers and all those joyful smiles!! Thanks for the pics, have fun, and please give hugs to each of them from me – including your amazing roommate, Kristy!! Hugs!! Shared post!!
Bonnie, I will do this! It’s one of my favorite parts of conference. Lots of squealing and hugs around here. Great conversations, too.
Hope everyone has a good time and learns a lot. Each year I wish I could be a visitor and meet so many. All talks about having so much fun. GOD bless you all. Maxie
Thank you, Maxie. It is a blast. Long days, but filled with learning and friends.
Great pictures! I really enjoyed getting to know you. 😀 Traci
