ACFW Conferences: Friends and Dreams

Image
I was scheduled to post on the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Conference blog on July 2nd but somehow, I ended up there today. This makes for some out-of-sequence reading because I wrote the first paragraph as if it was going to be posted on July 2nd. *sigh* Here's the complete text with photos - although I look a smidgeon different today due to a 30 lb weight loss :). Yay. Ah, September – one of my favourite times of the year. Huh? Yes, I know it’s only July 2nd because we celebrated Canada Day yesterday and it’s just 2 days before the U.S. Fourth of July festivities. But, still… September is the premiere social event of the season. To this Canadian gal, anyway.

Talking About the Old West

Okay, so today's the day I'm blogging at the International Christian Fiction Writers (ICFW) blog.

I hope to see you over at the ICFW blog today.

Book Giveaway and a New Blog

If you leave a comment with your email address before midnight, you might win your choice of a book from her website. But you have to go over to Prairie Chicks to do it. I'm sorry, but for this giveaway only, you need to reside in Canada or the U.S. Vickie's current book is The Anonymous Bride Book 1 in the Texas Boardinghouse Brides series. If you think this post looks familiar, you're right because I posted a book review yesterday and a promo post for Inkwell Inspirations last Sat. Canadian Prairies Missed the Old West Second... Narelle, one of my Inky sisters, invited me to be a guest blogger at the International Christian Fiction Writers   (ICFW) blog. Since the ICFW blog is targeted at readers, my post is about my childhood and why I write stories with a prairie setting. I ...
