NOMINATED for 1997 'BEST SHORT STORY' EDGAR

"In the Bleak Midwinter was nominated for a (cough-cough) prestigious Nevermore Award. Partners & Crime Mystery Booksellers awards–some might say inflicts upon–the Nevermore raven "...to real authors for inadvertent achievement in a variety of categories neither dreamt nor dared by MWA." My book was up for a "Coming Attractions" award for the detecting couple most in need of, in the words of Partner Maggie Griffin, "getting their ashes hauled." However, I ducked the bullet on this one–that is to say–I lost out to the talented and much-honored S.J. Rozan, who has kept Lydia Chin and Bill Smith apart for eight books at last count."   – Julia Spencer‑Fleming (Agatha, Barry, Gumshoe, Macavity & Nero Awards winner – with permission)
 
"Actually, the award I'm proudest of is the Nevermore from Partners in Crime, one of the independent mystery bookstores in New York City. The Nevermore, given the night before the Edgar banquet in the spring, is sort of the anti-Edgar. I won the "Hauled Ashes Award" for the fictional couple most in need of getting it on."   – S.J. Rozan
