Sorry to have been absent, but I've been busy!
Last week I had book signings in Columbus and Greenwood, IN and then Jim (my hubby of nearly 31 years) and I taught basic writing at a conference in Indianapolis at the national American Christian Fiction Writers conference.
We had such a great time. Here I am at one of the booksignings with a really great lady named Militine. Isn't that an awesome name? It's a compromise of Millicient and Christine.
We met a lot of wonderful people and in Columbus got surprised by my mother's cousin Anna Ruth and her daughter Denise and son-in-law Jim.
On our last night in Indianapolis, Jim and I dined in the revolving restaurant at the top of the Hyatt and enjoyed this view of the Capitol Building.
All in all, it was an incredible trip and God was so very present. We met wonderful new friends and had great reunions with longtime friends. I imagine heaven will be much the same way.

So glad you had a great trip, Tracie! And, I just received your book, Embers of Love, in the mail a couple days ago!!!! I'm SO, SO excited to read it :D The cover is truly one of the most GORGEOUS covers I've ever seen! Not to mention, how much I LOVE the name of both the book and the series! They're just perfect for romantic fiction :)
ReplyDeleteI made a new friend the other day who just loves to read, too, and guess which wonderful author we have in common?? We had a great time talking about Brides of Gallatin County, and I told her about EOL just releasing and how she just had to read it!! Maybe I'll let her borrow my copy when I'm done... that is, IF I can part with it ;)
Blessings,
Amanda Stanley
Hi Tracie! I saw you and your sweet hubby several times during the conference! It was great to see you again.
ReplyDeleteHope you can take a breath and slow down a bit now.
LOVE reading about your travels, Tracie! And I'm so thankful I was able to meet you and Jim in person at last year's conference (since I couldn't attend this year) and learned SO much at your workshop!

So glad to hear you had such a great time with the book signing and the conference. It was the first one I've missed, and I was bummed. But, we're buying a house and have a lot happening. So, it was necessary.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya though on the reunions with old friends and meeting new ones. Imagining heaven like that puts a big smile on my face. Can't wait to hug some folks who have been gone from this world for years.
