I share this news basically for two reasons: one that I really really wanted to be present but couldn't make the trip to NYC. And the second, or perhaps the first one if I wanted so damn self-centered (:-) ), is that I coordinated a group of terrific authors/ITW members as a panel for the Best Paperback Original novel. It was an honor and quite a privilege to read so many wonderful novels.
They winners are:
BEST HARDCOVER NOVEL
Megan Abbott – THE FEVER (Little, Brown and Company)
BEST FIRST NOVEL
Laura McHugh – THE WEIGHT OF BLOOD (Spiegel & Grau)
BEST PAPERBACK ORIGINAL NOVEL
Vincent Zandri – MOONLIGHT WEEPS (Down & Out Books)
BEST SHORT STORY
Tim L. Williams – “The Last Wrestling Bear in West Kentucky” (Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine)
BEST YOUNG ADULT NOVEL
Elle Cosimano – NEARLY GONE (Kathy Dawson Books)
BEST E-BOOK ORIGINAL NOVEL
C.J. Lyons – HARD FALL (Legacy Books)
