I am so excited about the 2016 ACFW Conference in Nashville this year! Every year, it seems there’s some reason I’m unavailable to go because it’s such a busy time of year for me and hard to take off work. This year is no exception, but thankfully Nashville is close enough that I can pop in on Saturday for part of the day and attend the gala dinner.

I’m also excited to participate in the Pre-Conference Mix and Mingle hosted by Laurie Tomlinson! You can find instructions on how to join the mingle there.

She’s asked that we answer the following questions:

Name: Monica Mynk

Location: Central KY

What you write/tagline/trademark: Contemporary romantic suspense and YA dystopian “Broken girls, seeking love, finding His truth”

Place in the book world: Author with Mantle Rock Publishing: Pandora’s Deed, Medusa’s Hands, Cavernous, (Cocooned  coming soon), ladies day speaker, freelance editor

On a scale of hugger to 10-foot-pole, please rate your personal space: I’m a reserved hugger. Unless we’ve been long-time Internet friends. Then, be prepared to be knocked over with a monster hug.

Something VERY serious: How do you take your Starbucks? Sadly, allergic to coffee, but I can do hot chocolate, even in the heat of summer. And I love, love, love tea!

The unique talking points that will get you going for hours: When Calls the Heart, Gilmore Girls, teaching, science, good books. It’s not hard to get me going for hours, actually.

Loved ones at home you’ll be missing: My husband, 7-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son

Conference goals we can pray for? My biggest conference prayer is for the safety of everyone as we travel, and of course giving thanks to be fortunate as I am to be multi-published with a company that gives me artistic freedom, support, and encouragement. So blessed.

Anything we can celebrate with you? The second novel in my Goddess to Daughter series, Medusa’s Hands, recently released.

One or two ways we can help you build your platform? I need book reviews! Happy to gift a copy in exchange for an honest Amazon or Goodreads review. Message me if you’re interested through my site contact page. And please, feel free to follow my Facebook and Twitter accounts!
