Congratulations!! I am so pleased for all of you! What a reward to be recognized. I thank the Lord that He has gifted you all in a way where you can bless readers like me!
Jaime
Congrats! That's really cool!
ps. Denise...you were missed on the drums today!
Congrats to all of you! Kristin, Ashley has a special place in my heart--so glad "she" got an award!
YAHOO! GREAT!
Congrats to you guys! I know you had to be excited.
Kristin, I love the Ashley books and I always hate seeing the end of character series. So I'd welcome an older, wiser Ashley! {vbg}
Ditto on more Ashley! With her new life in Philadelphia, I'm sure there's more than one adventure left in her! :D
I totally agree. I would definately read more Ashley. Maybe you'll find her again, Kristin, since you're back in the city.
Hmmm..I wonder if I can use that logic on my husband? Oh honey...I need ____ so I can get into my character's state of mind. hehe
Would buying a convertible be tax deductible?
Loved seeing you at conference. All 4 of you. Super late night chat.
somehow I think having a wide screen TV with THX suround sound will make me a better Science Fiction Writer...yet my wife is not so sure...curious...
Congrats to all the winners!
A convertible, huh? I think I need a trip to France to write my next book.

You guys clean up real good! Look like stars. Congrats! (Wish I'd been there...ah, well.)
Congratulations, as well!!
I was dying to attend the conference this year, especially since I LIVE in the Dallas area...unfortunately circumstances prevented.
On the revive Ashley note...Philadelphia for Ashley may be as "fish-out-of-water traumatic as the countryside was for you???? I'm with those that love her, so...perhaps you could "draw on that experience"......!?
Congrats to all of you. How exciting to have every one of you do so well! Must have been one wild night in that hotel room! I was with ten members of my critique group and every one of us were asked to send proposals. We went home happy:)
p.s. Getting my hair cut today. Last time I went I told my hairdresser I wanted to look like a certain celebrity. This time I'm going for the Kristen Billerbeck look! so cute:)
CONGRATULATIONS, ALL of you gals! And Denise, you'd better enter next year! :)
