Reason #1: The first ever Ohio Christian Writers Conference presented their first ever awards . . . and I won!

I’m so honored that Where Treasure Hides received the (giant!) Maxwell Medal for Fiction.

Reason #2: Award-winning, best-selling author Michelle Medlock Adams won in the Children/YA category so we’re in the same photo!

Reason #3: The other two beautiful ladies in this photo are my daughters, Jillian Lancour, founder of She Lives Vintage, and Bethany Jett, co-owner of Serious Writer, Inc.

We got to spend the conference together . . . each one of us teaching workshops . . . and we had a blast!

The OHCWC, sponsored by Serious Writer, Inc., was held November 2nd through 4th in Mason, Ohio. More conferences in more locations are being planned, and we’d love to have you join us at one (or more) of them.

Congrats to all the winners!
