Mystery Writers of America Awards Night

Thanks to the Mystery Writers of America for a great time at the 2010 Awards banquet. They did a wonderful job of making all of us nominees feel honored, even though there was just one winner in each category--and I didn't win, but I did feel honored. Peter Abrahams received the Edgar for his book Reality Check. After the ceremony the MWA put out stacks of books by the nominees and shopping bags and we were able to take home as many as we wanted. Christmas in April!!

Got the letter; nomination is official

Got the official letter today from the Mystery Writers of America about my book's nomination! Seems there's a big banquet and other festivities in New York City in April. Wahoo!
