We have Lift-Off!

This post is late.

I don't really have an excuse for it--just that I've run out of words.

Because the words I want to say--thank you--seem so inadequate. And there may have been 90,000 words in Across the Universe, but none of them say thank you enough.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, though, and all one thousand here are joy and gratitude:

    And you know what, Beth, we can't say how amazing you are or how unbelievably freaking excited we are for you enough, either--and girl, you deserve another 26 letters in the alphabet just so we could!! :-)

    Um, no--Thanks to you! For real. That was one engrossing book. I cannot wait to share it with my students. They are going to love it. But, you already knew that because you used to be an English teacher and know that teens love romance, mystery, thinking about the future and REBELLION!!

    Thanks so very much. I can't wait to read MORE. Enough with the hugging and the roses--Go write some more!

    (Kidding.)

    (Sort of.)
