One of them is by Cathy McDavid, fellow Harlequin American Author!<BR/><BR/>I knew that the judges put Marlee and Fabian in third place but I somehow missed the results of the public vote. Very exciting that they're first!Lee McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388019900085158731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943223263330257723.post-5981583413643354252008-03-22T16:28:00.000-07:002008-03-22T16:28:00.000-07:00Lee, my daughter is interested in becoming an ASL ...Lee, my daughter is interested in becoming an ASL interpreter, so we were very interested in the show.
