Totally believed they had it in them to win ;-D And you, too, my friend! LOVE IT!
It was so cool to see Firethorn get recognized for this award. I guess I’m biased since I got the privilege of being “Griffin” on the cover but this is my favorite entry in the series.
Congratulations to you on your award! I hope many more are to come!

Kunta! MAJOR thanks for lending your handsome mug for Griffin. I’ve had a lot of comments on “him.” 😀 Let’s just say you have fans! And thank you for the kudos–I think Firethorn is one of my favorites, too! Thank you for stopping by.
