Exciting News!!
My short story "Bay of Reckoning" has been nominated for the Agatha Award for Best Short Story! This is my third nomination in three years, and I have to admit, it doesn't get old. The story appears in MURDER ON THE BEACH, published by Destination Murders. The story takes place in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay where recipes for seafood spice rubs go as far back as family rivalries between two clans.
I am still on Cloud 9 that my short story "The Last Word" won the Agatha Award for Best Short Story! And I along with my co-editors also won the Anthony Award for Best Collection or Anthology. "The Last Word" is about two old friends from culinary school who discuss the ups and downs of their long friendship over a special meal prepared in response to a bad restaurant review.
