I did a post about it today on the Murder She Writes site, and there’s a contest for a $25 gift card, so pop over and leave a comment.

The Shamus Award ceremony is Friday night. I don’t have a prayer of winning, but I am honestly honored to be in such great company with the other nominees.

Also, I found out last week that NO MERCY was a finalist for the 2011 WILLA Cather Literary Award in the hardcover fiction division! How cool is that? I’ve won the award once and been a finalist one other time, so I’m thrilled to have this new series recognized too.

I was stunned. And thrilled. And really excited.

Anyway, I’ve posted about it at two different places today with two chances to win a signed copy of the book. Follow the links if you’re so inclined:
