David,
Congratulations! You richly deserve this.

[Elaine Flinn]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cosmo Vittelli]

I didn't have a vote, but my neighbor did, and she voted for Sarah Weinman's site, mostly because Sarah Weinman rarely wears pants.

[I.J.Parker]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

Sometimes people do the right thing.

[Tim Maleeny]

Well deserved indeed! Congrats David...

[Rae]

Way to go! Congrats!

I just clicked on the link and perused the nominees in all categories. The list of nominees is superb, which I suppose is another way of saying I share the Anthony committee's opinion of these works.

But I happily confess, the nomination that gives me the greatest pleasure is David's Crime Fiction Dossier.

Leaving aside the matter of the nomination for the CFD, they have a fine slate of nominees there. Much better than the Edgars, I think. Granted, it's mostly a popularity contest. But there are still some damn good books, and only a few stinkers.

What's wrong with a popularity contest in this situation? It just shows that fans make some pretty good choices.I know what I like, and I like to see my favorites recognized. (And yes, David, I did nominate you.)

[David J. Montgomery]

Thanks for your vote, Cheryl! I'm honored.

[Karen Terry]

Congrats. It is so wonderful. I am so glad for you.
