Aaand we didn’t win. It was a very fun night at the Grand Hyatt in New York, I had a very enjoyable time with Leslie Wells, Will Balliett and Deborah Schneider, as well as my lovely wife Liz, I got to meet and hang with my fellow nominees, and five hours later…
I felt like Schroedinger’s Cat, in the box, not knowing if I was dead or alive, and then they read the name and it wasn’t mine. I was sad, of course, but SWEETSMOKE will always be an Edgar nominee, and that is some kind of good thing.
Back to California Saturday, ready to dive headlong into the next book.
Hi David,
I’m glad that you such a great time in New York.
Congratulations on the Edgar Nomination.
SWEETSMOKE is a winner in my books!

Thanks, Bobbie. Great to hear from you.
As you can see from the time logged in, we are up early (in NY, so it’s really 6:23) to catch our plane home.
I’m sorry to hear “Sweetsmoke” didn’t win. But you guys had a fun time and that’s what counts. And I feel this nomination is the beginning of an exciting journey for you and your writing.
Regardless, congratulations!
Thanks for a great book I’m enjoying it right now.
Looking forward to reading more of your books!!!!!
