March – what a great month! For me it marks the month my debut novel hits bookstore shelves, and I step down as New Releases Coordinator for ACFW. Lynette Eason, who also has a new release this month, will take my place, so be sure to welcome her to this position!

To get a head start on spring, we’ve got 16 new releases to choose from! And they all sound great! Check them out – and don’t forget to visit my new Spotlight interview with author, artist, and agent extraordinaire Wendy Lawton. Wendy had a new children’s book release in February.
