In case you weren’t paying attention, what with all the news focus on the deaths of actress Farrah Fawcett and pop star Michael Jackson, the two-day Deadly Ink Convention was held this weekend in Parsippany, New Jersey. Lincoln Child was the guest of honor, with Jeff Cohen held forth as toastmaster.
Also during that conference came an announcement of this year’s recipient of the David G. Sasher Sr. Award for Best Mystery Novel. As attendee Jack Getze reports, Robin Hathaway walked away with that commendation for her third Dr. Jo Banks mystery, Sleight of Hand (Minotaur). Nominated as well for the Sasher were: Antiques to Die for, by Jane K. Cleland (Minotaur); Pushing Up Daisies, by Rosemary Harris (Minotaur); Death of a Cozy Writer, by G.M. Malliet (Midnight Ink); A River to Die for, by Radine Trees Nehring (St. Kitts Press); and Death Will Get You Sober, by Elizabeth Zelvin (Minotaur).

Thanks for the mention, Jeff. I'm glad Robin won--she's a real pro and one of the nicest people in mystery. Now I'm changing "has been nominated" to "was nominated" on my website and clearing the decks for my new book, DEATH WILL HELP YOU LEAVE HIM, which will be out on October 13, right in time for Bouchercon.
