Hey friends,
Here are some quick glimpses of ICRS so
far. It's been a great week and a fun time with family and friends.
We attended the Christy dinner tonight which was a wonderful event. Congrats
to all the winners in all the different categories, and thanks
to all of you who rooted for A Lasting Impression. I'm thrilled
to have been a finalist this year!
And now, some quick snapshots...

dressed up for the Christy Awards Dinner
The lovely Ann Parrish
(whose husband Jim is the President of Bethany House Publishers). Ann is a dear
and gifted woman who has provided invaluable input through the years during the
substantive edit phase of my books. Thank you, Ann!

Me and Kels (sorry for
the shadows)

Dutch Publisher)
Dessert! Delicious!!
And finally, back at
the hotel where a nice stranger agreed to snap a family pic in the hallway
before we got all comfy again. What a fun night, and I was so happy to
"show off" my family. I couldn't do what I do without them, and
wouldn't want to.
It's late now and I'm flat exhausted from a full
day of interviews and booksignings and running. But it's "exhausted"
in a good way. Now for a very quick night of rest then up to venture to Harry
Potter World tomorrow. Have any of you been? Any words to (or from) the wise?
Blessings on your Tuesday, friends! And more pics here!
