Tonight, the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference presented their annual Carol Awards. You can see a full list of the finalists by clicking on the logo below:
Thanks to Tyson Wynn, Ronie Kendig, and Allison Wilson, I was able to watch a livestream and a live update blog of the awards gala… sitting here in my pajamas on my bed 🙂 Authors Beth Vogt and Serena Miller assured me that was okay as they were also joining the livestream in their pjs! I clapped and cheered as though I really had been in attendance even while feverishly typing my own updates on Twitter. I even had 3 categories in which I was hoping all 3 nominees would win. Alas, this was not to be… but without further ado, here are the 2015 ACFW Carol Award winners. (FTC Disclosure)
