Lynsay, you have a whole forum willing to speak up and cheer for you (we need to get our shirts printed and our pom-poms ready, SASSy ARGENEAUTS) and besides, you can't have any harder time speaking if you win than umm...Luke Arimault. Just be your sweet self and pretend that it is just us you are talking to when you win.

Lynsay, please don't object to us writing or calling Avon. We won't if you say no, but we would really like for Avon to nominate you. I agree, it is tacky when authors nominate themselves, but you are way too modest about your work! Truly, we would be on our best behavior when suggesting that Avon nominate you.

As for other great authors, I have books on my keeper shelf by authors who have won RITA awards, and your books...almost the entire collection (I'm still working on getting all the historicals) and two copies of each Argeneau (I thought it might be a good idea to have a second copy as I read them so often, and especially for when the "Dorchestor Three" are hard to find)...are on the shelf right beside those other great authors.

P.S. I will behave myself if Lynsay lets us write or call Avon, I will behave myself if Lynsay is nominated, I will behave myself if Lynsay wins, I will not make Mr. Spice send me to my corner if Lynsay wins...(Just practicing, it might be useful if I learn to behave now )

Wren does it work if you say that out 3 times fast? "I will behave myself if...."

Not in the slightest, dear sister...but I thought I would give it a try. It probably won't help, but it sure can't hurt!

I was thinking if I practiced, I might be able to be good for a little while.

W2 of the AE4 I do not forsee it happening!

Neither do I but you get an "A" for effort.
