Just wanted to say how absolutely thrilled to have landed this honor. Thank you to all concerned and especially to my editor and publisher at CD – Robert Morrish and Rich Chizmar. Again, my heartfelt thanks!!

Terry, Conrad – delighted to hear from you. Hopefully we helped make your day. And congratulations!
Terry, this was particularly well timed given all of the promotion for Australian writers that has been going on over the past few days. It was a very happy Aussie party last night.
Cheryl. Oh yes. You made my year. I’m a very happy bunny…
