WARPED- RITA finalist

[mguibord]

Just got an amazing call from Linda Jones from the Romance Writers of America. WARPED is a finalist in two categories for the RITA award, for Best Young Adult Romance and Best First Novel!!!

I knew the calls were going out today but I had just about steeled myself to leave the house and carry on as usual when the phone rang. Out went the sangfroid

CONGRATULATIONS! Does this mean you'll be at National and I might get to meet you? I'm on tenterhooks myself, waiting to hear if any of my authors made the finals. And just as an aside, I adore Linda J, so you got a call from the best. :-)

I have made any arrangements yet but I want to go- and to meet you too!!!
Linda was so kind- even if I win nothing- this has been a real highlight for me.

Keep me posted. I'll be there Wednesday - through Sunday, and I'll definitely make time to get together if you're there. ::crosses fingers::

I'm hoping to go- just need to work things out on the home front- would love to meet you :-)
