2008 Faith and Fiction Retreat

Some of the photos on my camera came out darker than I would have liked. So, I had to play with brightness and contrast for some of them. Anyway, this should give you a pretty good idea of the sessions. The Palms of Destin resort was absolutely gorgeous and definitely was a “treat.”

2007 Faith & Fiction Retreat

I just came back from the Faith & Fiction Retreat hosted by Tiffany L. Warren at St. Simon’s Island, GA. I drove down by myself to the King and Prince Resort and wasn’t sure what to expect. Between my crazy roommate, Casandra Belcher Tripp (she warned me) and the wonderful itinerary, I had a great time – with the exception of the incredibly humid weather. There were several AA Christian Fiction authors on hand for readings and book signings including trailblazer Jacquelin Thomas.

Other authors at the retreat were Tiffany L. Warren, Latonya Mason, Mimi Jefferson, Sheila Lipsey, Norma Jarrett and Lacricia Peters.

Several book clubs were in attendance as well. Two or three came from the Atlanta, GA area, while others came from Houston, TX and as far away as Rochester, NY.

I didn’t need any more books, but I came back home toting six more. Tiffany is planning the second annual retreat for 2008 in Destin, FL. Depending how my funds are next year, I hope to attend this one and Jacquelin Thomas’ Faith Based Arts Conference.
