I am so very proud of Tamela Hancock Murray and Bob Hostetler. They have both been named as finalists for the Agent-of-the-Year award given annually by ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers – acfw.com/award_recipients).

Tamela won this prestigious award in 2017 and is honored to be a finalist again.

This is Bob’s first time being a finalist; and he replied to the news in typical form, “I’m flabbergasted and bumfuddled.”

The third finalist is Linda Glaz of the Hartline Literary Agency. Congratulations, Linda!

The winner will be announced at the Awards Gala in San Antonio on September 28.

Congratulations to Tamela and Bob. Well done.

Last week at the Mt. Hermon Christian Writers Conference Bob Hostetler came up to me and said, “Congratulations!” I looked at him blankly and said, “For what?” His smile lit up, “For being named as one of the top websites by ‘Writer’s Digest!’” Bob later showed me the May-June 2017 …
