Darynda-
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I saw your sale on Publisher’s Marketplace yesterday and spent most of last night torn between happiness for you and raging jealously! Seriously, that’s fabulous and your series sounds very exciting. I’m looking forward to watching your climb up the publishing ladder. Best of luck!

Thank you so much, Pam!!! And it is a fine line, huh? Trust me, I’ve felt that way for years. Seeing it from this side of the fence is nicer. LOL!
Hugs,
