Congratulations! That's so exciting! :)

Alesia,

I was so excited when they read your name. You really deserve it. Congrats! Great going, girl!

I wanna meet my agent one day, lol... Congratulations again, that is awesome and deserved!

I am so excited for you. I can claim to be touched by greatness- a Rita winner bought me a margarita! I hope the champagne is still flowing.

And don't you look just gorgeous accepting it and all! I tell everyone I meet that I know this chick who writes these great books and that she is going to be a big name some day--looks like you are well on your way to greatness! So nice to know I am right... *grin* Congrats, my dear--you deserve it, and then some!

Thanks!! Rita is travelling across country with me now to Pennsylvania to get the kidlets - I'm taking pics of her everywhere and posting to my blog. hee hee. I am a total geek

Alesia Holliday, you are a Literary Goddess!!! How could you be so surprized that you won? Your novella totally rocked. As one of the Brockmann Bunch, we loved having you and we loved giving you an ovation. If any of those people standing in line didn't know who you were before, they do now and they need to get out and buy your books. And btw, I've started Lani's "The Comeback Kiss" and you're right, she's great.
