The American Christian Fiction Writers (a group I belong to, much to their chagrin on occasion) holds an annual contest for unpublished authors. It’s a big deal. Please join me in congratulating all of the winners listed below the shill for recognition for your less than humble host.
Please follow me on Twitter, and “Like” the Facebook author page. Don’t forget to subscribe (the box is on the right side of the page) to be eligible for free e-books and other benefits!
