Friday Melee

Good luck to everyone awaiting a Golden Heart or Rita call! Don’t spend too much time chewing your fingernails. Being a finalist is an amazing and incredible accomplishment. Not being a finalist doesn’t necessarily mean a thing. One of my critique partners finalled with one of her books, which is very well written, but not with another one, which I think is one of the best novels ever printed on paper. The same book that won me a Maggie Award got a one in the Golden Heart, and the same one that won a Molly… look, I almost never got a decent score in the Golden Heart Contest, and I still sold the crap out of my book. So there’s a chance for you anyway. 😉

In other news, we have another quote for Secret Society Girl:

Chick-lit heads off to the Ivy League in Diana Peterfreund’s superfun, supercool debut novel, Secret Society Girl. Of course, I’d like to tell you all the reasons why I loved it, but then I’d have to kill you…
