Dear dreamwild1985,
ReplyDeleteI am so flattered and so excited to see that Tempting Faith has been so honored with its nominations. I don't think any story is truly finished until someone reads it, so to have a reader enjoy it enough to nominate it for an award is an added pleasure. Thank you so very much for the honor you've bestowed upon my work. That my work is in the same category with some of my favorite writers makes this experience even more thrilling!
I'm so honored to be nominated. I want to thank my fans so much.
