[DonRotolo]

Congratulations. I remember meeting Emily and talking about the book last year in St Louis, and getting an excerpt (and some bling).

As a writer, I know how much of your heart and soul goes into your craft, and to get external acknowledgement is so very gratifying, proof that "you are good at this". Sometimes writing is so lonely, so stuff like this helps one get through the dark times (I speak of deadlines and editors...).

OK, now I have to go buy the rest of the book. I'm more of a SciFi fan, but I'll read anything.
