I'll be MIA next week at the American Christian Fiction Writers conference. I'm also participating in this mega booksigning. There will also be author panels (info below). Hope to see some of you there! I'm teaching a late night chat on Thursday with Editor Emily Rodmell and fellow Steeple Hill author Dana Mentink on how to rise from the slush pile at Steeple Hill. I'm sitting at table 66 at the signing in the mall rotunda. Hope you will come out and meet some of your favorite authors. They'd love to meet you.

HUNDREDS OF NOVELISTS COMING TO MINNEAPOLIS
Booksigning by 100+ novelists at Mall of America September 20
(MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.) Hundreds of authors and aspiring authors will attend the annual
American Christian Fiction Writers conference at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel September
18-21, 2008. They'll study the craft of writing from a Christian worldview, get the word out
about their books, and meet with editors from nearly every major publishing house in their in-
dustry.
They're also coming to get signed books. On Saturday, September 20, 1:00-3:00pm in the Best
Buy® Rotunda and Bloomingdale's Court of the Mall of America, over 100 bestselling and
award-winning authors such as Angela Hunt, James Scott Bell, Rene Gutteridge, Deborah Ra-
ney, Tamera Alexander, Judith Miller, Nancy Moser, and Brandt Dodson will sign copies of
their books for conference attendees and the public.
"ACFW is very excited to partner with the Mall of America in hosting a booksigning of such
magnitude," said ACFW President Robin Miller. "As a reader myself, I'm thrilled at the oppor-
tunity to meet so many authors and have my books autographed. I intend to do much of my
Christmas shopping at the booksigning."

I am so mad I live way way way too far away to come. I would have to buy a plane ticket and travel half way accross the country. Somehow I don't that will fly with my work,family, and money. :)
So excited for you!
Brittanie...I know! It's a long ways away. But you all will be with me in heart, eh? LOL!
Dee...THANK YOU!
I'll let you know how it goes when I get back. I've never even been to the Mall of America. Should be fun.
I never dreamed that one day I'd be sitting at the same table with one of my favorite authors (Kathleen Y'Barbo). Have you guys read Beloved Castaway by her yet? It's SO good.
Thank you ladies for dropping by and commenting.
Hugs,
Cheryl
Have fun at ACFW...I wish I could have gone. But Denver, 2009 is my goal.
Have a great time!
We will, Lynn. Hope you can make Denver. Be sure to come say hi.
Dee...you're signing too, right?
Hugs,
Cheryl
