A Writing Life…Missing ACFW!

This weekend is the ACFW national conference. This year we are online, and oh how I miss seeing my writing buddies. It’s one of the reasons I started Book Talk with Cara. It was a good excuse for me to get to spend time talking with the writing friends I’ve missed catching up with at ACFW. On Friday, I’ll open the conference and then on Saturday I’m teaching a workshop on writing proposals. It’s my least favorite part of writing, but with 35 books out, I’ve written a number for many publishers. I’ll also have a couple appointments with editors with houses that are considering a proposal currently. Ah, the irony!

This week I’ve been missing my writing friends even more as I prepared the next season of Book Talks. Look at this line-up:

If you haven’t read these ladies books, I’d love to have you join us. There’s a little something for every reader from contemporary romance to gothic split time to rom com and everything in between. And don’t forget you can catch up on earlier Book Talks either on YouTube, podcast, Instagram, or Facebook.

I also could tell that I’m missing my friends because I went on a pre-order, book-buying binge. Here are the books I bought this week from Baker Book House (Love their preorder prices!). My biggest challenge will be making sure I don’t buy a second or third copy. There are so many good books coming in the next months! Are you looking forward to any of these books?

Which books would you add to my TBR pile? I’d love to know what you’re reading and loving!
