In reply to Laura Drake. Hahahaha!! Go, go, GO!!! Although, I just can't get my head around this changed structure with the awards being at the beginning, rather than the end.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. I'd say something mean, but since she's up for a RITA in a few hours, I'll cut her some slack. GOOOOOOO DEBBIE!

In reply to jeanne kern. Jeanne, I'd be interested in knowing why you had no input on pronunciations - that should never happen with ACX - but you say "Amazon" which leads me to suspect that it's a Whispersync read. Which is the best reason, of all, to make certain your book is read by a live person you can interact with during the process.

This is so amazing. I didn't know you could. Amazon did audio for my first book, and the names are pronounced differently. That shouldn't bother me, but it does.

Oh now I'm nervous, Barb! I forgot to mention - this is one more way to get angsty about your work - it's not only, 'Will they like the book', you have 'will they like me reading it' on top of that! Thank you!
