I love that piece and am touched to have it recognized... besides which, how can I argue with being in the company of such brilliant, gorgeous and talented men as Ken Bruen, Jason Pinter, Tom Piccirilli, and John C. Boland?
Not to mention the book nominees and special awards honorees, wow...
I love my job!!
