Isn't it absolutely BIZZARE that the AAA&L press release doesn't mention BBM in Annie's bio?

Huh?  ^*() ^*() ^*()

Yeah, your right.  O0
It just seems that in the world of name recognition BBM would be familiar to a whole lot more folks.

They recognized the writer, I'm OK since they named the book... there's something on this forum about some folks working on Annie's getting the Nobel Prize  :s)  I have to do some search but after reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez novels, for example, Annie is a good choice.  :)
