Thanks, Sandra. It sure has been an exciting week.
Thanks, Sandra, for your kind words! I'm ecstatic ~ and so honored. Thrilled for all of the nominees. So exciting! It is indeed cool that "A Twist of Noir" is getting recognition. I'm so grateful to Christopher Grant for posing the 600-700 Challenge, and for accepting "Heat of Passion," and giving it a home on "A Twist of Noir."
I'm still pinching myself over the 2012 Derringer nomination for "Heat of Passion," earlier this year ~ it truly was a thrill.
It kind of feels like "The Little Engine That Could." I'm attending Bouchercon this fall, so this is even more exciting!
So happy for both Kathleen and ATON's publisher, Christopher Grant!
Thanks, Naomi! It means so much to me!
