THANK YOU!

Wow, what an amazing night, even the chicken was good (and I don’t like chicken). It absolutely blew my mind when I actually won the Whitney Award for mystery suspense. I honestly truly did not think I would win against such amazing books—I’ve read them and they are awesome—plus my very best friend Julie Wright was one of two people in the whole world that knew who had won before tonight and she deserves a freaking Oscar for not even hinting it to me (and I did try) she’s told me she was once an actress, apparently that is absolutely true.

I was a total mess up there so be ready to see my ugly cry pictures circulating around sometime—everyone else was composed and funny, I was the ugly crier and I don’t even care—the moment was that good! I’ll blog more about it next week, after I’ve enjoyed Easter and gotten my brain put back together (it blew up, remember) But I had make sure I thanked all of you that nominated and supported me to this end, as well as the amazing Whitney committee that put so much into this. It really is . . . just incredible (yes, I’m crying again, no pictures please). There were a lot of people I wanted to hug and thank personally after the dinner but I had kids waiting and a hubby that wasn’t feeling good (after three days with the kids who can blame him?)

But before I crash, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. (there should be a whole bunch of commas in there--sorry)

It never would have happened without those of you that loved Sheep’s Clothing and took the time to vote for it. Hugs and kisses and hard boiled eggs coming at ya! It’s been an amazing weekend and I’m absolutely exhausted—I’ll blog more about it next week! But thank you thank you, you’re the best.
