Sunshine Across the Land

That's right. See that smiling, apple-cheeked lad at left? You're looking at an Edgar nominee. Uh-huh. Damn straight yo. Earlier today, Al Guthrie's Kiss Her Goodbye was nominated for the Edgar in the category of Best Paperback Original. I couldn't be more proud. Personally, I think everything Al writes should be nominated for every possible award, including the Pulitzer and the Oscar and the "Most Improved Hygiene" Award they give out at the dentist's office over at the Roosevelt Mall. But the Edgar... hell. In the mystery field, it just doesn't get any bigger. The only thing better than telling Parker and Sarah tomorrow morning that their Uncle Al is an Edgar nominee? Being able to tell them that Uncle Al is an Edgar winner a few months from now.
