but I'm feeling much better now
Okay, I'm really not. I'm feeling marginally better; sometimes I think I'm getting better, then sometimes I go back to thinking I'm at death's door. :-pBut I got a phone call this morning that definitely perked me up a bit...
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN is a Finalist for Oklahoma Romance Writers' "National Readers' Choice Awards"!!!!
Yee-haw! Suddenly, I'm really glad I answered the phone. LOL I was in the middle of hacking up a lung when it rang, & seriously considered just letting it go to voicemail. So happy I didn't! :-D
This is so exciting! That makes three finals all for the same book, which makes me want to pinch myself. Of course, I'm also starting to develop a complex. I mean, I did have two other books out last year besides LIGHTS... Were they awful? Were they no good? Did everybody hate them? I know, I know--I shouldn't think that way, & these things are all very subjective, anyway. One person's Sistine Chapel is another person's Velvet Elvis, right? LOL
I can't wait to share the news with my agent & editor, except I can't seem to get e-mail to send this morning. Called my ISP & they're "working on it," but there's no telling how long I'll have to sit on my little announcement before I can start contacting everyone I know. (I'd call, but I sound like I've been smoking three packs a day for twenty years, & no one needs to listen to that. :-P)
