This is Mary DeMuth, the instructor for the Continuing Advanced Track that I’m taking here at ACFW. Mary is the author of several books, including two non-fiction (Ordinary Mom, Extraordinary God) and two fiction (the Maranatha Series).

But probably the most exciting thing for me is that Mary is from my town – in fact, she used to live mere miles from me. She, her husband, and their three children are now a part of a church-planting effort in France.

As always, this conference is doing so much for my soul. Sure, we’re here to network, to fellowship, and to hone our craft. But God always shows up at this conference and it goes deeper; healing, restoring, and recharging writers who are all in various stages of this publishing journey.

Tonight is the Books & Such dinner and I can’t wait! This will be my first dinner to attend as a CLIENT of this amazing company! When I checked into my room yesterday the man behind the counter handed me this beautiful gift basket, along with my room key.

It was full of chocolates and candles. The card read: Have a wonderful conference. Chocolate Hugs & Kisses from your favorite agent.

Have I mentioned how excited I am to have teamed up with Books & Such? I’ll post pictures of the dinner tonight as soon as I can.

    I’m so glad you met Mary DeMuth. I met her 3 years ago at a conference and she told me about the Rockwall Christian Writers’ Group. Join us if you can @ Lake Point Baptist Church, 2nd Tues. evening of every month (except December).

Life is a marvelous journey, and I hope to show you glimpses right here!
