This shot cracks me up. For the ACFW Band picture, we decided to trade instruments. I’m on drums, trying to twirl the sticks. LOL. We decided this looked like an album cover. Now, if only we had an album. From left to right: Amanda Wen, Jeremy Saglimbeni, Eddie Tucker, Jaiver Laboy as the Dos Esques man, Rachel Hauck, Pepper Basham, …
Great is His faithfulness
The other day I read a great post on the ACFW southeast loop from Crystal Sandow of God’s provision for the ACFW Conference. I am always so inspired by stories of God’s love, provision and deliverance, healing. So, I asked Crystal if she’d share her story here with y’all. If you want to go to the fall ACFW conference. Or …
Home from the 10th ACFW Conference!
(left, Susan Downs, me, Susan May Warren. Ten years and counting!) It’s never easy, Being in a pool of peers. Swimming with the current. Against the current. Exhausted. Laughing. Weary yet energized. Pulled in a thousand different directions. Yet somehow having a single purpose. Novels. Fiction. Hanging with other writers. I love to teach. Never realized how much until I …
Meet Me In St. Louis
Meet me in St. Louie, Louie, meet me at the Conference! It’s fabulous! You should come! Really! St. Louis is a grand city! They have an arch in plain view from the hotel. The hotel has cool carpet. I’ll be there! Listen, I know what it’s like to feel lost, alone, stupid, clumsy, and like an outsider at a conference. …
Home Sweet Home
The past eleven days have been the most crazy, busy, fun days I’ve had in awhile. Sadly, all without my hubby. On the 11th I attended the Ohio State v. Miami Hurricanes game. I hadn’t been in the Horseshoe in over 23 years and was simply overwhelmed at the grandness of the stadium. Twenty-five years ago this December I graduated …
I’m going to a Buckeye Football game
Lots going on this weekend. Not necessarily in my life, but around the world and in your neighborhood. I’m finishing up Love Lifted Me with Sara Evans. I’ll be glued to my desk chair for the next few days but I’m excited to “have written!” Today at 11CST I’ll be on Kitchen Chat with Maragret McSweeney. Check my Twitter box …
The ACFW Carol Award Finalist
Here’s a list of the ACFW Carol Award Finalist. Congrats to all the editors and authors. This is the first year for the Carol Award, named for pioneering Bethany House fiction editor, Carol Johnson. Johnson saw the possibility for Christian based stories when she read a charming manuscript written by Janette Oke. That was in the early ’80s. The Carol …
Do not come to the ACFW conference in September
What, Rachel? Don’t come to the conference? Why? What are you saying? Hmm? You want all of the editors and agents to yourself? Sit next to Angie Hunt during dinner? Win all the awards? (yeah, right… ) Sit in the first row for Mark Mynheir’s police procedure continuing session? No! Please, I’m soooo over all of those things. I mean, …
Did you miss me?
Well, I’ve been in Dallas for the ACFW conference since last Tuesday. Sorry, I was too busy to blog. Waaaaa. But, I had a great time. I taught a 4 hour continuing session on The Lits – Chick Lit, Mom Lit, Lady Lit, etc. It went well and I had a good time. Dave White came with me to help …
Interview on Deeper Living
Check out the interview I did on Deeper Living! Tomorrow I leave for Dallas until next Monday. I’ll be leading worship and teaching at the ACFW conference, and reuniting with friends old and new. Can’t wait. It’s always such a great week. I’ll blog if I can. Otherwise, be cool, love Jesus, love each other and watch college football! Go …
