I know I was supposed to blog about the conference, but, time got away from me and I was too tired! I did manage to drag my camera out on Saturday to take some pics! So…enjoy! 🙂 Me, signing books at the Mall of America booksigning!
The Mall Of America! Wow, this place is HUGE!! An amusement park is inside the mall!
During the signing, there was a running movie of all the writers participating in the signing, as well as their books, featured on a large screen! Don’t we look great?
James Scott Bell signing his tune!
Author and editor Karen Ball, James Scott Bell, and Brandilyn Collins answering questions during one of the many panels featured during the Mall Of America signing!

Me, signing John’s Quest!
Author Sharon Ewell Foster is in the middle and Janice Thompson is on the right. Can’t recall who’s on the left! You’re welcome to fill in the blank if you’d like!
Wow! Me, on the big screen! 🙂
Camy Tang, Trish Perry, and Rene Gutteridge!
Amusement park in the Mall Of America! Doesn’t it look fun?
ACFW Awards ceremony Saturday night! I’ll be sure to post the winners on another blog entry!
Me, dressed up for dinner!
Thank you so much, hon! That’s Susan Meissner in the picture with Sharon and me. We had a blast! By the way, you looked awesome the night of the banquet. Gorgeous outfit!
Great pictures, Cecelia! It was wonderful meeting you (although briefly -LOL!) on the elevator at the hotel, and I am THRILLED that you gave me a copy of JOHN’S QUEST. I can’t wait to read it!
Hugs from Georgia,
Patti Jo Moore 🙂
Patti, it was great meeting you, too! I hope you enjoy the book!
Thanks for those pics, Cecelia! Seeing your picture from the awards ceremony made me realize we didn’t cross paths at ALL that evening! Too many wonderful friends to keep track, eh? I look forward to seeing you again next year.
Hi Cecelia –
I saw your notice on the ACFW loop, so I decided to visit your blog.
Wow, talk about a Who’s Who of Christian novelists. I wish I could have been there.
Blessings,
Susan J. Reinhardt 🙂
Great pictures, Cecelia. Yes, that Dora ride at the Amusement park looks great. My 2 yr old would love it.
Awesome photos! I know I have you on video, but I don’t know if I managed to do a good job or not (first time volunteer videographer.) Great post and totally fun to relive!

It looks like so much fun!!!
Wonderful pictures, Cecelia. It was so great to sit with you for a meal. And that photo of your son–what a precious boy. You just look at him and have to love him.
Blessings and joy, Cecelia.

Hey! I had so much fun hanging out with you at the conference! The pictures from the book signing were great. Thanks for sharing those. I was all the way down in the S’s so I didn’t get to see any of that stuff at the rotunda. 🙂
