My phone woke me up — and this time, it was THE call … well, the call that I’m a Golden Heart finalist, at least.
“Beauty and the Ballplayer” finaled in the contemporary series category.
More later, since I’m sure this is the beginning of a long, wild ride!
My immediate dilemma: How can I get a flattering headshot for the Jumbotron? Well, I do work with a bunch of photographers. Maybe one of them will be up to the task.

It’s an amazing experience and I’m so glad you get to have it. What a wonderful way to wake up! Congratulations. I want to hear the deets about THE CALL.
Sadly, being asleep when the phone rang, I can’t provide many deets … I don’t even remember which board member called me. (Terrible, I know. But I was more focused on the message than the messenger.)
HOLY COW ARLENE I JUST SAW THE BEACON RESULTS!!!!!
CAN YOUR DAY GET ANY BETTER???
I just saw that news myself. And the agent requested a full. You can bet I’ll be contacting her … though I’m a little nervous about it, since I was placed in the wrong category (I’m series, she judged single title).
That’s what cover letters are for.
So excited for you. Go buy some lottery tickets because, man, today is YOUR DAY.
Hmm … maybe I should. I need to win the lottery to afford airfare/hotel/conference registration.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
*jumping up and down*
I just really want to read this manuscript more than ever now!
You are in for an amazing ride – yes, it’s just beginning.
Thanks for sharing the news… I was on a vicarious adrenaline rush after hearing this morning!
I know. I’m still bouncing in my seat … without the aid of caffeine. I might be back to normal energy level by Sunday.
