Wow.....fantastic news. Congrats. Where can I read your story?

Thank you, Astrid! It's too much fun.

I'm not sure where the story will be available. They publish both print and online, so I'll let you know when I find out!

Woohoo, that is amazing! Though not as surprising, considering the quality of your story writing. XD

Huge congratulations! :D :D :D

[mariole]

Aw, you're so sweet. It was really surprising to me. The last thing I won was "Scariest Monster" when I was 5. So I'm really savoring this one. ;)

Squeeee! I'm so excited for you. :) :kiss: That is faaaantastic. And very well deserved. Will it be coming to an inbox near me soon????

(((((Mariole)))))

[mariole]

Aw, thanks so much. I'm so glad to be picked on merit alone; the joys of a blind submission.

Perhaps your inbox might see an early copy. I'll fire up the computer tomorrow.
Cheers!

I've been grinning all day. Work is much easier when I have a story coming out. :)
