CHIT-CHAT: Nashville
CJMK. While I don’t have any trouble juggling two pennames, it can be awkward explaining to someone new that I’m two people (give or take). Yep, I’m CJ, author of family-friendly fantasy … but I’m also Christa, author of Christian speculative fiction (angels & demons & heroes, oh my!). Both of me are here in Nashville, TN for the #ACFW2016 Conference.

I was so happy to have print editions of the Byways books ready in time!

At that time, we were informed that they’d had medals made up for us, but they weren’t ready yet.

Local Author Exhibit
This past weekend, I attended the reception for the San Diego Public Library‘s 48th Annual Local Author Exhibit. The event took place in the brand new central library, which is located downtown. Since this was my first visit to this towering repository of books, I gawked and chattered like a tourist. The place is impressive on several levels. (Nine, if I remember correctly.)
