According to Merriam-Webster Online, galluptious (or less commonly spelled galoptious or galuptious) means "wonderful, delightful, delicious." Take your pick. I think I'll go with "wonderful" this time around. I don't see a whole lot more about this word, so will proceed directly to the news:

The Secret in the Wall is a finalist for the Will Rogers Medallion Award in the Western Mystery category, which is galluptiously delightful indeed! I am honored beyond words...

More will be revealed at the Award Ceremony on October 21. You can view all the finalists in all the categories right here.
