So what did you think of the winners and their acceptance speeches?

Actress Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie, Supporting Actress in a Comedy) is being touted as having "the shortest acceptance speech" ever! She was clearly surprised and emotional... congratulations to her on her win.

What would you have said?

I've often daydreamed what my acceptance speech would be as I accept an award for writing the book made into a bestselling made-for-TV movie... Would I remember to thank everyone or would I inadvertently leave someone special out? Oy, the thought gives me palpitations. 

But I'd like a chance to try!

So all of you movie producers out there, let's talk! Do you like Final Sin, a real thriller set here in the Hudson Valley? Or maybe Karma Visited with its paranormal suspense story line? How about Bartlett's Rule and the heartfelt story of a survivor? ...I've got more.

Just contact my terrific publisher, Kimberlee Williams, or me and the three of us can do lunch and talk...  Who is going to make this dream come true?
