Several of the Inspired by Life and Fiction authors have already posted some great pics from the recent ACFW conference, and I thought I'd share just a few more. We writers don't get out all that much, you know, so when we do, it's a big event. I truly believe that if it wasn't for the ACFW conference, I wouldn't be published today.
