On this Mother's Day, one little personal note, my mother, PeeWee Pierce and my bonus mom, Ann T. Barrow, both taught me to be a strong, independent, caring woman and I was blessed to have them in my life and I still miss them. Both were able to read some of my published work and I'm glad they were.
Happy Mother's Day, everyone.
Nicely done article, Jan.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm so proud to share the stage with my brilliant colleagues! Wonderful work, everyone, and well deserved.
Good piece, Jan. And good to be in such company.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, Jan. I now know a lot more about my learned colleagues. Quite an impressive bunch, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteAnd a belated Happy Mother's Day to you, too!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm going to have to up my game! Congratulations to everyone. (Btw, I was shortlisted for Best American Mystery Stories of 2011, not Best American Short Stories.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan, for putting all this together. I am indeed proud to be a part of this outstanding group.
ReplyDeleteLike Eve, my story selected for inclusion in Otto's 2015 anthology will be in Best American Mystery Stories, not Best American Short Stories. (It's scheduled for release in October.)
nice lineup! I never knew. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan! One little correction - The Perfect Mark was a Derringer and Arthur finalist, but didn't win that year.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - I've known for years that people here are my competition for these awards . And what competition!
Sorry, Eve and John and Melodie for mistakes. I was reading everyone's letters on my tablet and typing the article on the laptop and when I read for corrections, I assume my mind read it correctly. Mea Culpa.
ReplyDeleteI am honored to be in such great company. I too, had a story in Otto Penzler's Best American Mystery Stories, many eons ago, think it was 1991. Guess I have lost my copy of the anthology and don't remember which story. I also received a special award from Private Eye Writers of America in 2002 Sorry I left that award out. It is special, a beautiful lucite regular hardcover sized book. It has the PWA logo in the center and Friends of PWA, 2002 and Jan Grape printed on it. I'm thrilled to have been honored.

Jan, when you've won as many awards as you have, it's okay to forget one or two.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Dare I mention there's a tiny little easter egg in the photo?
ReplyDeleteBelated hoorays for everyone!
