Prairie Chick Resources

I'm blogging at Prairie Chicks Write Romance today about the resources I use to make my novels come alive.

This is one of the items I use in Emma's Outlaw but which I knew nothing about. So, I went looking for information and found it in spades at a yahoo group. That's just one of my many resources.

So if you're into history, you might want to check out some of my favourite sites.

I haven't told you what this is because I thought you might like to play along. Try to guess what it is or what it does.

2011 ACFW Choir Video

Last week I was in St Louis, Missouri at the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference. As usual, the conference ended on Sunday morning with a worship session which included the ACFW choir. Rachael Phillips, the 2011 ACFW Choir Director said, "They are a wonderful, gifted group, and I love working with them. I send them music and mp3 files beforehand, which they rehearse on their own, and in four/five crazy conference practices wedged in between classes and appointments, these singers from all over the country blend their diverse talents and spirits into a single voice of praise. SO proud of them!" So there I was in the back corner of the room with my little Lumix camera. Because I was so far away, the faces in the choir are barely discernable. And the video is shaky since I didn't have a tripod. However, the music is a beautiful outpouring of the spirit.
