Thanks.

This last week has been incredible. 

Celebrating with friends and colleagues. 

Getting interviewed by the old local newspaper you used to be a paperboy for. 

Your body waking up at the same time you got the call for a whole week. 

Getting a wonderful congratulations video from the #SCBWI in NYC. 

Seeing your book outsell 50 Shades of Grey for a brief moment.

Kids cheering in videos all over the country.

People posting images of their home made Beekle dolls.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Too many to thank, in fact.

I guess it’s time for me to write a speech.

Below are some links to relevant articles and interviews:
