    Thank you so much for this, Kelly. And let us not forget that Kelly was a DOUBLE Rita finalist last year, for Best YA *and* Best First Book.

    The latter along with the darling Rosemary! And yes, Rosemary, my editor/your editor *does* have terrific taste. ;)

    Thanks, also, Janet!!!

    Thanks, everybody! And part of the initial fun is figuring out what to wear to the ceremony. I feel like I'm looking for a prom dress. HAHA.
