Hi Lesa,
The authors of the anthology Murder New York Style are extremely proud of Nan and Liz.
Thank you for acknowledging their achievements
Terrie Moran
You're welcome, Terrie. And, I already have a blog posting with a note from Liz, to be published on April 11, and I mention the story and her nomination again on that blog. So mark my blog, and April 11 on your calendar!
Lesa,
That is just great. I already bookmarked your blog and will come back.
Of course, we hope that you will mention Nan and her story as well.
Terrie
Ah, but it's Liz's note to publicize her book, Terrie. That doesn't mean I won't mention Nan, though, but maybe not on Liz's day.(smile)
