Congratulations!  It's nice to see that laboring hours at the keyboard and drinking too much coffee might finally pay off for me someday!  LOL!  Here's to a long, fruitful writing career, my friend!

Kerry,

I'm in! Especially since I hope it will be a fast-growing club.  Should we have buttons, t-shirts, both?  

With "Book Country put me on the map!" or some less-cheesy-made-up-when-I'm-not-totally-awake logo.
