The Story

I reminded myself that once you start to defend someone, it’s difficult to find a place to stop. But I went ahead and took that first step anyway. . .

His command was to ’let the dirt fly’ and for years, the American Zone of the Panama Canal mesmerized the world, working in uneasy co-existence with the Panamanian aristocrats.

Dana Mentink: The Inside Scoop!

I was inspired to write my first published novel by a life adjustment! I took a leave from teaching elementary school to be a stay at home mom. I missed the creativity, so I took a writing for publication class and that was the beginning of a career that has spanned thirty five books so far!

More ACFW pics!

Apologies for the delayed posting, friends! Here are some more wonderful memories from ACFW – actually from before the conference began. Tamara Leigh and I had the pleasure of dropping in on the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat, fabulously led by bloggers Annie, Bonnie, and Carrie. It was great fun to meet authors, readers, and bloggers who we adore. Amy Messer, who encourages me every time she posts a comment on my blog, was simply delightful. I think hugging her and hearing her squeal for joy just about made my year! Kara, too.

I hope you enjoy these pics, despite me …
