Huge congrats to Bill Crider and Stuart MacBride, both of whom scooped up Derringer Award nominations for their Damn Near Dead stories (as reported by Nasty, Brutish and Short). Bill's story, "Cranked," is also up for an Edgar, and while he claims that a win is highly unlikely, I'd like to point out that sometimes, it does snow in Texas.
Good luck to both, and thanks to both for continuing to make this Polish editor look good.
Glad to hear it. I didn't know. And I owe it all to you and David Thompson. (No kidding.)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that Don Winslow loved Damn Near Dead
ReplyDeleteI saw this yesterday on Crimezone, but the post was removed within five minutes, so I thought someone was taking the piss.
ReplyDeleteBut I think Bill stands a damn good shot at the title, Crank is an excellent story.
Rot his naughty parts.
