San Diego Christian Writer’s Conference

What a wonderful San Diego Christian Writer’s conference we had! Over 170 people, some great workshops and plenary speakers. Our caterer, I.C.E Catering brought some fantastic food for the 3rd year in a row!  We’ve already put them down for next year! I’m still feeling overwhelmed that I was given the precious and distinct honor of the Sherwood Eliot Wirt Award for “Writer of the Year” (click here to see the award group photo).  How my fellow Board members kept it a secret from me I’ll never know!!  For someone who loves to talk, I couldn’t find words.  Just THANK YOU!  God has been so good to me this year in so many ways. I thank the Board, but I thank Him most of all.
