I have been having a truly wonderful time at Malice Domestic, and will have some stories to tell about it shortly. In the meantime, I can't resist the temptation to mention that I was delighted to hear that a new story of mine is on the short list of ten for the inaugural CWA Margery Allingham prize. Gratifying in itself, but I have to say that I am especially thrilled that a story by one Helena Edwards is also on the list...
Helena has not published any fiction as yet, but I have long hoped that one day she would, because she is a really talented writer, and this success is definitely well deserved.
Congratulations Martin, and Helena as well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both - how exciting, especially for Helena!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations to you both!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations & good luck to you both!
ReplyDeleteMartin, this is wonderful news – not only you but Helena too, shortlisted for this major new prize. Congratulations to you both. I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for an Edwards one-two!
ReplyDeleteI remember Helena’s enthusiasm for short stories when chatting with her at your Lymm Festival event at the Golden Fleece in 2011 (your talk was on the Detection Club). I hope she’ll write more. How thrilling if someday you’re able to include Helena in one of your anthologies!
Best,
Paul
You won! Congratulations!
