In just a couple hours, I’ll load up the car, pick up a couple writer buddies, and take off for the American Christian Fiction Writers conference in St. Louis. I’ll be reading all your lovely comments, but likely won’t be able to respond to many due to how packed my conference schedule is.


A lovely writer in our community emailed me to ask, “I was wondering if you could have a post asking what authors everybody admires/books they are into. I am always looking to read new books by new authors, and would love to hear what people are reading.”


Discovering new authors to love and follow is such a wonderful thing, isn’t it? I remember the first time I read The Apothecary’s Daughter by Julie Klassen and just kept thinking “I love this book. This is so good. Wow, what a great word to use! Oh, that was such a good scene. What’s going to happen next?…”

What was the last book that made you feel that way?

See you all back here on Monday for a new writing prompt!
