Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

Between a trial that went on forever, a sick dog, an ice buildup that caused my ceiling to almost collapse and numerous resulting repair jobs on my house, I haven’t even had time to read, let alone write so far this year. In fact, I’ve only been on the boards a handful of times. Once I did come on, intending to check out Kerth nominations, but got distracted, and so only found out today that I’d even been nominated.

So to say that I’m stunned would definitely be an understatement. I guess this means I need to start writing again, eh?

Anyway, thank you all so much. This year has been... busy, to say the least. So it is just so nice to get a pleasant surprise for a change. I do need to thank Carol and Gerry for their great beta reading skills. And to thank Jeanne for editing my story for the archives. And to thank all of you who cheered me on, challenged me and corrected my mistakes and oversights during posting.

And congrats to all the other winners and nominees. Now that things seem to be calming down somewhat in my life, you’ve all given me a nice list of must-read stories.
