DERRINGER AWARD FINALISTS

You can find the finalists here. From there you can join the Short Mystery Fiction Society and cast your vote. (Go to the "How to Cast Your Vote" link on the left side of the page.)

It's great to see the online community represented in every category (except the novelettes). In fact, the short-short category is all online!

I'm excited about this because I think a lot of the best, most vital crime writing is happening on the internet. Just read those five short-shorts--each one is a gem.

And a shout out to friends of the blog who made the cut, Jane Hammons, Jack Bates, and Michael Solender (who has two stories!).
