Congratulations, Meg. First of all, there is no WAY you are middle-aged, lol. Secondly, I am beyond happy for you. See Dot Smile is a fabulous book and the Watty award people are very smart to have awarded it and you! Your enthusiasm for promoting your work over the last year has been entertaining, energetic and most of all, genuine. I love that all of these great things are coming together for you and your book AND that you are re-invigorated to keep writing more. Thanks for sharing the good news.

Thank you, Claudine! For supporting me and Dot on our journey!

And I'll be 44 in January. If I'm lucky and make it to 88, that puts me right smack dab in the MIDDLE!! πŸ˜‚

Fan-freaking-tastic! Really happy for you. And you kept it from your mom? That’s amazing!

You misspelled fan-fucking-tastic, Tom, but I won't hold it against you. Since we have the same mother, you know she couldn't be trusted with sensitive information like this.

Not to be trusted in a million fucking years

Well, well, well, another one from our humble fiction community has risen to new heights! Many congratulations, Meg, and your break is well earned with all of your hard work. I'll also say kudos for being brave enough to reach out into another platform to find the right audience. You took a shot and it paid off, and that deserves recognition. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Thank you, Brian!!! I do work hard. If I'm brave, it's by accident, but I'll take the recognition while I can get it. πŸ˜‚ I've been watching people like you blaze trails for a long time, so I figured I'd better find one of my own to blaze. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯Thanks for leading by example. πŸ™‚
