ACFW Conference in Denver!

Had a great time in Denver at the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) Conference.  Lots of eating, workshops, reconnecting with old friends, and making new ones! 

  Me and my fabulous agent, Mary Sue Seymour.
  Allen Arnold, Senior Vice President and Publisher for Thomas Nelson Publishing, and best-selling authors Denise Hunter and Colleen Coble.
  Author Golden Keyes Parsons and her husband, whom we fondly refer to as "Mr. Golden."
  Authors Kimberly Cash Tate and Jenny B. Jones.
  Me and author Christina Berry.  Christina's first book, The Familiar Stranger, just released.  I met Christina last year at the ACFW Conference, and she wasn't published yet.  I'm so happy for her, and I'll be reviewing her book on my blog in October.
  Keynote speaker author Debbie Macomber.  Debbie has over 100 million copies of her books in print worldwide, and her novels are translated into twenty-three languages. 
  Signing a copy of An Amish Christmas at the conference book signing.
  With fellow Texas author, Leanna Ellis.
  On day 1 with writer Mindy Obenhaus.
  Sat next to Golden at the book signing.  Such a sweet lady!  And I love her books!
  Dinner on Friday night with Thomas Nelson family - TN staff, authors, and agents.

Unfortunately, several left early for appointments and aren't in the picture!
  This is Becky Monds - one of the fabulous editors at Thomas Nelson and a super sweet person! 

I'm back home!  Settling back into my routine.  Hope everyone has a blessed week!

    Thank you for sharing your pictures, Beth. I get to know authors through blogs and interviews, but you met many in person. What a joy that must be!

    Beth, Just scanned your blog and saw that Debbie Macomber was a speaker at an event you attended. I very seldom veer from reading Amish fiction...when I do, it's Debbie's books I read. I am hooked on her Cedar Cove Series. Did you get to meet her and speak with her?
