Well, it didn’t happen this year, but we got closer.
Last year, Quarter Share was eligible, and nominated, but didn’t make it to the finals.
This year, the other three novels were eligible and nominated. Full Share and South Coast made it into the finals, but Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps won. I can’t find any fault with that decision. Losing to Mur no shame. She’s awesome and Playing for Keeps is an excellent novel. So, we got a little closer.
Next year? Double Share will be eligible. And we’ll see what else may come between now and the end of April.
Thanks to all of you for your warm wishes and words of support and encouragement. I’m humbled and grateful.
[UPDATE: Farpoint Media has a good rundown of the categories, nominees, and winners.]
