This, of course, is for all of you

My book won the Readers' Choice Award last night at the Minnesota Book Award celebration. I will write more about the whole event in another day or two--it was very chic, with free-flowing champagne and women in glittery gowns, and the mayor gave a speech--but I'm on deadline right now for a couple of things, so I hope you don't mind waiting.

In the meantime, this prize is for YOU. I know that many of you voted for me (and voted and voted), and even if you didn't, the truth is that I would never have written the book if it had not been for you.

So thank you so much, and I'll be back soon with more details and photos...
