I'm up for "Best New Voice, Fiction" and there's not enough hours in the day

Well, cool. My book, THE VAMPIRE SHRINK, has been nominated for a Benjamin Franklin award from the Independent Book Publishers Association. If I were a cat right now, I'd be stretched out on my back with all four paws in the air, making that "merrrowwww" sound. (I'm housesitting and taking care of 4 cats. What an education!)

I just started a new job as a therapist at a mental health center (hey, at a certain point, everyone needs a little financial security) in addition to my work at the addictions center, seeing my private clients and trying to do the edits on book 2. My hair is suddenly much more gray than it was a couple of months ago.

Wish me luck!
