Right after I left WFC yesterday, my wonderful publicist emailed me with some awesome news and, of course, I had no one to squee with. Shades of Milk and Honey

It’s such an honor to be on the ballot with so many authors whose books I love. The awards ceremony is in LA at the RT Booklovers Convention, April 6-11. This year, the ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 7th from 4:00-6:00 pm. I had already been thinking about going because I’ve heard great things about the convention and this cements the decision.
Also, squee!
I’d say this news achieves a degree of kewl-age unequaled within the cosmos. Much congrats and squee indeed!
That’s great news! I’ll be picking up my copy later this week. I can’t wait to read it. Congratulations!
That’s great. Congratulations! I can’t think of a better reason to squee.
Squee-ing with you in Michigan!!!
Thanks, all! Ooo! I get to shop for a pretty dress.
You won’t wear your Regency dress?
Likely not, although it is tempting to use this as an excuse to have a ballgown made…
