  1. 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!

  2. I'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!
