Suzette and Mary,
Thanks for the contest. I doubt I'll win, but it's fun to try.
Mine is a YA suspense. I know you didn't mention "suspense" but you did mention "Thriller." So I hope it still works.

Yep, Paul. Suspense works fine. Glad you entered.
Mary's right, this IS fun. I'm having a ball and am so excited to see who wins!
Thanks so much for doing this, ladies. I appreciate so much the effort that goes into something like this. You are amazing.
