So you can imagine our surprise when this popped up in our inbox:
Secret societies dominate a posh co-educational private school in this suspenseful, possibly supernatural mystery. One or both of those societies may be responsible for the death of a girl, or so 15-year-old Kate believes. Kate’s best friend, Grace, was killed in a fire under mysterious circumstances a year earlier. When she gets an e-mail from her dead friend, Kate believes Grace is asking for justice and begins to investigate what really happened. The Roeckers populate the school with the standard drop-dead handsome rich guys and a few supermodel-style girls, but Kate finds herself more attracted to dangerous, scruffy Liam. Then there’s her annoying next-door neighbor, nerdy Seth, who has an obvious crush on her. Despite the difficulties they cause, the two help her so much that at last she enlists them in her quest. Tension mounts when the trio finds secret areas in the school and starts to track down who was really responsible on the night of the fire. A final confrontation solves the mystery, but can Kate really bring the culprit to justice? And is Grace’s ghost really haunting her? The authors create lively and memorable characters and keep the action moving in their lengthy whodunit; Kate’s interest in Latin adds an educational element. Clearly, the Roeckers had fun writing their story. Young mystery lovers may enjoy it just as much. (Mystery. 12-16)
Holy. Crap.
Kirkus liked our book. We don't suck. At least not completely. And now we shall refresh Goodreads and wait for the other shoe to drop. Adieu.

That's wonderful! Kirkus is a tough crit! I can't wait to read it!
Congratulations, ladies!
In celebration of this momentous occasion, I offer three Friday truths, free of charge:
1. I have an itch. (It's only on my cheek, though, so it's not the inappropriate kind. I mean the cheek on my face.)
2. Working in Washington, DC has a way of reminding one that the government has lots of money, and you have very little, and yet you seem to be able to balance your checkbook....
3. You can eat leftover Thai food cold, and it's almost as good as when it was fresh. I recommend doing this only with day-old leftovers. That stuff of indeterminate age at the back of your fridge that looks a lot like green curry really started out as a red curry. Don't do it.
Congratulations! That's wonderful news!!!
that's wonderful! Now you can breathe easy, right? Can't wait until March 1st!
