DONA PENZA TATTLE, ESQ.
AND
ASSOCIATE WRYE
BALDERDASH
Greetings,
"Ahhh
chooo." Tattle blows her nose loudly. "Summer colds are just not fun.
"That's
why you should catch them in the winter!" Wrye does a two-step and ends
with a, "Tada!"
"Not
funny."
"Then
how about, why did the cheerleader put extra salt on her food in the summer? She
wanted to do summer salts!"
"We
are not here to tell jokes."
"Yes,
I am, I am the MC for announcing the finalist for the Tattle and Wrye Awesome Book Cover Awards."
"This
is serious." Sneezes. "The artists worked very hard on their
covers." Sneeze. "And it was very difficult to choose the
finalist." Sneeze. Blow. "Got it?"
Wrye
hands Tattle one tissue after another. "Bless you."
Tattle
nods a thank you, and then clears her throat.
"It is our honor to announce the finalist for this prestigious
award. Every cover was eye-catching and appealing. CBG has fantastic artists,
which made it nearly impossible to decide. So, we came up with criteria and a
points system to be as fair as possible."
Wyre
grins, mouthing, "All my idea."
"Ok...
Ok... Yes... All Mister Logical's idea."
Wrye
pulls out a white board and writes all the criteria on it to share with the
readers. Tattle taps her foot as he painstakingly makes it appear as if typed.
