What Will That McKenna Think Of Next?
I belong to a great online writers group: the American Christian Fiction Writers. I have no idea how many members we have, but I’d guess maybe 1000. We have a groovy email loop, discussion forums, etc.
Once each year, we have a conference, too. I got to go last fall, you might remember, and met a bunch of fantastic online friends face-to-face. Can’t wait to see them all again in September!
These are the folks who are helping me become a better writer. I’m edging closer to my goal of finishing this novel by conference time, and you know what? I’m more determined than ever to keep pressing onward toward publication.
Toward that end, I’m kind of dropping my last name. Not, of course, the man who gave me the last name—we’re more in love than at any time in the past thirty years. This isn’t a legal name change, just a doing-business-as name change.
So if you happen to see me referring to myself (or being referred to) around cyberspace as Katy McKenna, that’s why.
And if someday you happen to see a novel in Barnes & Noble with my maiden name on it? Buy it!
- Good woman, I plan on buying my copy directly from you. The better for having it personally inscribed, of course. ;-)

- I will be second in line for an autographed copy. And I will gladly announce to the world that I "know" Katy McKenna, world famous author!

- Jennifer--Right back at you! You do plan to write a book, don't you? The world waits!
Carrie K--I LOVE buying books at B&N or wherever and telling the clerks (and other customers, if I get a chance) that I know the author! I've used my "bragging rights" to promote the books of Lisa Samson, Nancy Moser, Robin Lee Hatcher, Mary DeMuth, Deb Raney, and quite a few others. Big fun, that....Posted by Katy on 07/25/06 at 03:21 PM - Can't wait to see you again at the conf Katy!
