What a group!

But wait--there's more.

My short story "On The House" is also nominated for an Agatha!

And also nominated are the amazing:

“Femme Sole” by Dana Cameron, Boston Noir (Akashic Books)

“Handbaskets, Drawers and a Killer Cold” by Kaye George, Crooked ezine

Can you figure out what will happen in On The House? (Available now from Level Best Books.)

When true love goes wrong—a woman's best friend may be her dog. Or—not.

Will you be able to predict what happens?

READ IT! here. And then let me know. (You'll see what I mean at the end ...)

And my very best wishes to all the nominess! Hope to see all of you at Malice Domestic in May!
