Thanks, Wendy. Ten thousand YWO members and at least for this month I have the number one comedy entry of all time. If I were British, I'd say I'm right "chuffed" or something like that, but as an American I can only guess what it means.

I used to think it meant someone in need of the Heimlich maneuver, but that's not quite right, is it?

well done to all! Will You Love me Tomorrow is now available on Amazon. Click to find out more.

Thanks to everyone, for the support and great reviews, both assignment and free-will!

I'm still in shock. Welsh Nut

Fantastically well done all you top dogs! The standard is so high that it really is a massive achievement. Good luck getting published, too. Sue

Fantastic! Well done you! And to the rest of the top ten too.

(ps - hope husband now has smile on face... )

Congratulations Top Tenners! Well deserved!

I would also like to congratulate the longevity Best Seller entrants Cope-Walker, Jennifer Sowle, and B.F. Thor for their works Symbolic Behavior Emporium, Two for the Crow and Old Horses respectively. A lot of labor and reviews to get in this way, and they all deserve a round of applause.
