Edgars




Detroit Noir contributor Megan Abbott has won the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original for her novel Queenpin, and deservedly so.

Her story “Our Eyes Couldn’t Stop Opening” directly follows my story in Detroit Noir and makes me look silly.

Also: Susan Straight won the Edgar for Best Short Story for "The Golden Gopher" in Akashic Books' Los Angeles Noir.

Hi, Joe. Megan's Queenpin won. Liked your story in Detroit Noir, too.

Hello there, Patti, and thank you. I’ve rewritten the above entry for clarity's sake.

Congratulations to you on the Derringer Award. Ain’t Muzzle Flash a scream?

I’m glad to hear you liked “The Night Watchman…” -- your story “The Squatter” is a personal favorite of mine.
