I Live In A Great Vacation Spot!

I was flying out of my local airport to the American Christian Fiction Writers conference when I looked down, out my window. I saw the green-blue of the Atlantic. The sandy, foam washed shore. The curve of the horizon as Florida’s edge stretched north beneath floating white clouds. I thought, “People pay lots of money to vacation here. But this …

This week’s table talker question is based on my books. Which means my answer is probably a given– Sunset Beach, NC where my books are set!
