Cut from ABNA

Well, I didn't make it to the final round for the Amazon contest.  Although I'm disappointed, I'm really taking this as all positive - the manuscript was good enough to make it to the top 50.  Since submitting it, I've been working on the second book and have come up with a lot of ideas for things I want to add / change to the first, so in a way, it's a good thing I didn't win.  I'll take this as a sign to keep working the series.
