Fantastic writers ALL! Diane Gaston is a very good friend of mine. I had to e-mail her right away and say congrats. Thanks for sharing the list, Cheryl. And, CONGRATULATIONS, again!
ReplyDeleteI've only read Worth Every Risk and Survivor in Death from that list and I liked them both. It's too bad only one book can win. There are so many good ones!
