HOLY BOOK AWARD, BATMAN........

[Kalavista]

Someone PINCH ME PLEASE???

My book just won the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Award (category: Children's/Juvenile Fiction). Um, yes, gold medal and national recognition?! WAKE ME UP ... AM I DREAMING??

My publisher is FREAKING. OUT. Says sales are going to skyrocket. AND jumping up and down for the next book (the other was the first of a series).

All future printings of my book are going to have this big shiny gold foil medallion on them. Every library in the country wants a copy. I'm like... WUT.

Kala, if I buy it from Amazon now will it have the medal on it? I would really like to support you (plus I love children's literature) but I would like one with a medal - that way I can see it and be reminded of how awesome you and this community are.

Whoops, tangent.
