But the nomination is a major boasting point.<br /><br />Just don't forget to put "Edgar finalist" or "Edgar nominated author" or some such after your name, and on all the covers of your books, for at least a few years. I'm told by friends that simply being nominated and invited to the shindig gives your sales a good upward bump for quite a while afterward.David Isaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928598446742324391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642795057392908919.post-40948686766449314552010-04-30T16:27:43.749+01:002010-04-30T16:27:43.749+01:00I agree with Frances - I've always thought tha...I agree with Frances - I've always thought that anybody on a prize shortlist could win - it just depends on the judges on the day - enjoy the rest of the trip in the knowledge that you were on that list!Alishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406189984167289987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642795057392908919.post-88438918859743970952010-04-30T16:06:32.505+01:002010-04-30T16:06:32.505+01:00I have nothing to add, excpet that I'm sure we...I have nothing to add, excpet that I'm sure we're all just as proud of you for being short-listed as we would have been if you'd won.

It's an achievement to be part of this crowd. Congratulations again for making the list. <br /><br />Congrats too for being on a panel at the Malice Domestic Conference. What irony that it's in Arlington, home to many of our D.C. politicians. <br /><br />Enjoy it all.Ann Weisgarberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220698901977906665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642795057392908919.post-8151042360655460552010-04-30T13:24:06.042+01:002010-04-30T13:24:06.042+01:00Len, still a hell of an achievement.
