Two for the Price of One

After some confusion over the eligibility of the original winner of this year’s Derringer Award for Best Flash Story (it seems the publication date of that tale’s hosting periodical extended from 2008 into 2009), the Short Mystery Fiction Society has now declared two victors in this category of yarns running up to 1,000 words long. Those winners are:

No Place Like Home,” by Dee Stuart (from Mysterical-E, Winter 2008-2009)--the original winner

“No Flowers for Stacey,” by Ruth McCarty (from Deadfall: Crime Stories by New England Writers, edited by Kate Flora, Ruth McCarty, and Susan Oleksiw; Level Best Books)
