Thanks, Sandra! I also have to give my thanks to the judges because each one of them has to read dozens of stories (in the past, there have been 60 or more in some categories) without any remuneration or even credit since they mostly remain anonymous. Talk about a labor of love!
CATHI!
Thanks, Sandra, for posting the list of nominees & their stories. Congrats to fellow nominees ~ and to the editors of the awesome sites they work so hard to present the crime fic community with great material.
A special thanks to Gwen Mayo, 2012 Derringer Coordinator, and all the volunteer judges who gave so generously of their time to read the stories and narrow down the finalists.
It's very exciting!
Thanks Sandra.
It's an honor just to be a finalist with all these great writers. I would like to thank Gwen, the judges and give a toast to all the finalists and SMFS members. Fantastic work being written these days!
