Don’t you hate it when people get recognition and then get all braggy about it? Yeah, me too, but that’s not going to stop me from tooting my horn, patting myself on the back, and generally be annoying. Yesterday, I learned that Box of Rocks won 2nd place for mysteries in the 2012 Reader Views Awards. It’s not a Pulitzer, but it’s enough to make me feel like other writers, reviewers and the academy really like me. Of course, if not for you readers who have encouraged and supported me all the way, I may have packed it in on this whole writing gig long ago. You all deserve an award for putting up with me.
THEY really like you. And WE really like you. I am quite sure that I love you. But don’t let that scare you. I’m a couple thousand miles away and “virtually” harmless. Get it? LMAO. I crack myself up sometimes. You see, that’s the difference between you and me. I make myself laugh. YOU make all of us laugh! You’re amazing and this award was so well-deserved.
Way to go, my friend.
HUGSSS
Good for you, Karla!
Congratulations, Karla–you deserve it!
Thanks, guys! I’m over the moon right now. Can you tell?
