As a director of two Christian writers conferences, many exciting books come across my desk either as review copies or books I can't resist purchasing because I know and respect the author.

Nancy Rue and Angie Hunt will again be offering their Nangie University for beginning to advanced novelists at both the Colorado and Greater Philly Christian Writers Conferences.
