Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference 2018, Ridgecrest NC

This week (Sunday-Thursday) I had the joy of attending, presenting, renewing friendships, making new friends, and meeting with writers at the annual Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference (#BRMCWC) at Ridgecrest Conference Center near Asheville, North Carolina.
There's too much to say about a wonderful week, so I'll let the photos do most of the talking (photo above by Marcie Warner Bridges, used with permission).
Monday morning at breakfast I was joined by ten of the fourteen clients of mine who were at the conference. Some I met for the first time, face-to-face.

On Genre Night (Tuesday, I think. Hard to remember. My brain is fried), many of us dressed in costumes related to our genre. Or not. After the general session those with books in the conference bookstore joined for a book signing. That's my dear friend Cindy Sproles (or, as she calls herself, "C&D") sitting and signing next to me. (photo above by Marcie Warner Bridges, used with permission).

Lighthouse of the Carolinas publisher and editor Eddie Jones regaled me with a wildly inappropriate story. That's usually my shtick. But okay  (photos above by Marcie Warner Bridges, used with permission).
And what fun I had tossing (and occasionally catching) with my dear friend, Scott McCausey. Man, you shoulda heard those gloves (and my joints) popping!
