Speaking of authors, if you happen to be anywhere near the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, on Saturday, September 20, between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m., you have a chance to meet an amazing number of your favorite Christian novelists. The American Christian Fiction Writers organization is holding a massive book signing, featuring 127 published Christian novelists. The signing will take place near the Best Buy and Sears Rotundas, and Barnes & Noble will have the authors' books available for sale.

Here's the list of authors participating! I'll be there. If you come, please be sure to come say hello, regardless of whether or not you have anything for me to sign!
