Edgar Gala! (And I can't just say a little bit....no, I have to tell you EVERYTHING!)

Did I really title that last post “highlights of the month?” That’s interesting because the real highlight of the month hadn’t even happened yet.

Dori, you rock. This is a wonderful account of a wonderful moment. Here's to you! I raise my tea cup high!

Thank you...and I hope you will do that literally at our next book group (Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy...May 21, I think)

Congratulations again! Thanks for the update. It looks like a lovely event!

A dream come true!

Congratulations, Dori

Dori, I'm so very thrilled for you! What an accomplishment, and to be able to say, "I knew her when".

Loved your blog today. It almost felt like we were there with you. Congratulations. This is the first Edgar of many!

Thank you! (Whoever you are...)

This made me cry. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. I loved every detail. (When I first learned that you had won on Twitter, I was so excited. I was saying, "She won! She won!" out loud.) And then Katherine called and we screamed to each other on the phone. So happy and excited for you and proud of all your hard work.
xox,

No! I can't believe you two screamed. :)

I think you guys knew literally within seconds of when I knew! You were probably screaming while I was giving my acceptance speech!
