Two-time Edgar Award nominee Reed Farrel Coleman also took home the Shamus Award for Best P.I. Novel for the fourth Moe Prager book, Soul Patch (published by Bleak House Books).

Fingers crossed for Daniel Woodrell (Winter's Bone), who is up for the Anthony Award for Best Short Story for his A Hell of a Woman entry, "Uncle." Bouchercon Anthony Award ballots are being tabulated today, with the awards presented tomorrow (Sunday). Good luck!!!

Kudos to Cornelia and Reed! I am proud I told Cornelia how much I liked her story way back when I first read the galley!
