Our Keynote Speakers are Award-Winning Author Lisa Samson
 Lisa Samson is the author of over 25 books including the Christy-Award Winning, Songbird and Hollywood Nobody. Her novel Quaker Summer, Women of Faith’s Novel of the Year for 2007, was also one of Publisher’s Weekly’s best books of 2007, and the recipient of Christianity Today’s Book Award for fiction, 2008. Her latest novel is Embrace Me. Lisa has written the novelization of the award-winning movie Bella. Working from the screenplay by Leo Severino and Alejandro Monteverde and painstakingly watching the film itself has been a unique process. Bella is life-affirming, filled with faith, hope and love. Lisa has been hailed by Publishers Weekly as “a talented novelist who isn’t afraid to take risks.”
 She and her husband, Will, use their home in urban Lexington, Kentucky as a house of hospitality. With their three children, ages 19, 15, and 12, they are active in the life of Communality, an intentional Christian community formed to minister to the poor and marginalized. She and Will are the co-authors of Justice in the Burbs: Being the Hands and Feet of Jesus Wherever You Live. www.lisasamsom.com Lisa will speak on Mon, Tues, & Wed evenings and will be teaching a fiction coaching class.
