New award nomination!

Mystery Readers International has announced the finalists for this year’s Macavity Awards, and Big Red and Old Red (and I) are in the mix. “Curious Incidents,” a “Holmes on the Range” novella from the January/February 2021 Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, is among the nominees for Best Mystery Short Story. I’m up against a bunch of my writer pals, so I’m happy no matter how things turn out. Check out the full list of finalists!
