Happy Wednesday!
Hi friend,
I had a wonderful time fellowshipping with authors and readers at the ACFW Conference and Storyfest, but I'm glad to be home now. I missed the hubby and all our critters. Thank you for your prayers this past week.
Speaking of prayer, please reply to this message and share your prayer requests so I can pray for you.

The conference was fantastic. Gabrielle Meyer's Every Hour Until Then won the Carol in our category, but it was an honor to have Midnight Masquerade named as a finalist. I had the opportunity to get to know B.F. (Ben) Randall, the writer of Innocence Sold.
I also had the privilege of meeting Jerry Jenkins (author of the Left Behind series). That was exciting, but the highlight of the conference was when I stopped by Colleen Coble's spot in the bookstore during the book signing, and she told me she's a fan of my work. That blew me away. I didn't even know she read my books. How cool is that? I'm totally fangirling over here.
I also had some fun spending time with my good friends, Joni Fisher and Carol Post.
FARM NEWS
Farmer Joe held down the fort while I was gone. One night he looked at the rain gauge on our weather system, and it said it was coming down at 4 inches an hour! Craziness. Talk about torrential rain. Needless to say, he was happy that the rain slowed down after it reached about 3 inches. It's raining again today (as it has been all week), so the goats are hanging around in the barn, making a mess for Joe to clean up.
At least it's a beautiful day for ducks!

They'd started back to the house when they heard a male voice behind them. Then a shot rang out.
"Run!" Kaely said.
When bestselling author Erin Delaney's novel gets picked up for a movie deal, she eagerly awaits her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter's arrival in Tennessee before they head to California to observe the film's production. However, when Kaely does not arrive at the scheduled time and Erin can't reach her by phone, her concern grows.
A cryptic phone call from Kaely's kidnapper confirms Erin's worst fear—she has exactly six days to save her friend's life by solving his twisted clues. The message comes with a warning: Contact the police or FBI, and Kaely dies. But Erin works for the Sanctuary Police Department, and Kaely's husband is with the FBI, putting her in an impossible situation. As Erin races against time, she's forced to crack the kidnapper's chilling puzzle before it's too late.
