This past Saturday (October 17, 2015), I took part in a Christian author book sale organized by Stacy Monson and myself.

Getting to Know Ginny L. Yttrup + Giveaway
The Winner is: Veronica Arias! (winner chosen using Random.org) Book + Bookmark Giveaway! See contest rules below As you know, I enjoy stories that aren’t all *sugar ‘n spice*, authors who aren’t afraid to talk about life’s gritty and messy realities.

My Favorite Things with Emilie Hendryx!
So excited to have the vivacious and talented Emilie Hendryx visit today. She was gracious to welcome me back in September, and I was blessed to return the favor.

Novel Anticipation – October 2015
When I was organizing this post, I realized each of these authors had one thing in common: they’re all Minnesota authors, and they’re all friends, most are members of, or have been members of the Minnesota chapter of ACFW. I guess October’s a good month to release a book up here. THE HIVE by John W. Otte ON THE RUN …
