There's a Party Coming!

And you're invited!

What is it? A booksigning with...ready for this?...over a hundred Christian novelists! (No kidding. See the list below.)

When? September 20th, 2008, 1-3 p.m

Where? The Mall of America in Minneapolis.

So if you're going to be anywhere close to The Mall of America, stop by and say "Hey!" (And if you're a born-to-shop person like I am, that place is just this side o' heaven. I mean, the parking lots are so big they're named after states! And there's a restaurant there where you can get ostrich steaks. AND there's an amusement park in the middle of the mall. All that plus a host of Christian novelists? Sing it with me: "Who could ask for anything moooore...")

I'll be there, along with 126 others, handing out chocolates, participating in a panel on writing and publishing, signing books, and generally having a grand time. I'd love to meet you, so (as my Tennessean buds would say) y'all come!
