My first time there (at NCEA) since the very bizarre Atlantic City moment (it just was a weird setting for the NCEA &#8211; there amidst the casinos. I didn&#8217;t get it.). If any of you have friends or relations attending tell them that I suppose I will be hanging out at the OSV booth in the late afternoon (my flight gets in at 3, God willing, and I&#8217;ll just take Marta up to Peachtree Center, check into the hotel and head over to the floor), and then speaking from 8:00-8:40 in what I think is called a &quot;Publisher&#8217;s Showcase&quot; in which, I&#8217;m thinking, publishers, er&#8230;showcase authors. I guess it&#8217;s open to all. Then I&#8217;ll be coming back here first thing Wednesday morning. <\/p>\n<p>BTW, the NCEA was originally scheduled to be in New Orleans this year&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NEXT MONDAY, I want all SoCal types to come see me <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sjf.org\/\">At St. John Fisher in Rancho Palos Verdes. <\/a>It&#8217;s a ticketed event, but a portion of the proceeds go to a very good cause &#8211; the Queen of Peace Shelter in Compton which I believe they told me is run by the Missionaries of Charity. So, if you&#8217;re interested, contact Office of Evangelization: Phone 310-377-4573, Fax 310-377-6303 or E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:katherine.coolidge@sjf.org\">here<\/a>. I should also have most of my titles for sale and signing (if I can get off this thing right now and call Loyola, that is) so come say hey and pick up a 1st Communion or Mother&#8217;s Day gift or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several points of business to take care of, here.

The Catholicism comes from her side. Amy grew up in a number of places - Indiana - Washington, DC - Lubbock Texas - Arlington, Virginia - DeKalb, Illinois - Lawrence, Kansas - and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the family settled in 1973. She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3011\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
