Chris' Top Five series has been fantastic, and just the latest in a string of reasons DBK has proved invaluable to folks who love great short crime fic. I was delighted to be asked to participate, and to highlight the work of some truly spectacular authors (not to mention the kick-ass publications putting their stuff out into the world.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286520897538327919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732400542595601583.post-21132558675037826712010-12-30T09:05:46.194-08:002010-12-30T09:05:46.194-08:00Thanks to Chris R. for getting writers to do these...Thanks to Chris R. for getting writers to do these top 5 lists because it introduces us to new material we might have otherwise missed in the vast lands of the internet.<br /><br />Chris, you've made this my go-to site for finding well written crime fiction.

Except we gotta throw Weddle into his own remarks also. What with editing, formatting and all the other things he does for Needle and his penchant for helping most anyone who asks for a class job of editing or suggestions about plot and promoting other peoples writing far more than he ever promotes his own, we kinda forget what a tear ass, shoot out the lights writer he is. This list rocks. I've read every one of these stories and they don't come any finer.
