And the Winner Is....

It's finally here!

The day I've awaited for over a year!

The votes are in. The ballot counted. And the great news...every single nominated title got a vote. For me, this is always a personal goal and feels like a small victory. I know I won't be able to appeal to every reader but it's encouraging to know that all of the titles were loved by someone. But what you really want are the number!
