Hunter Takes Home a Lammy

Sorry to have been so quiet of late. I’m trying to finish work on what seems like a mammoth list of crime, mystery, and thriller titles due out this summer. But I can’t fail to mention that the recipients of this year’s Lambda Literary Awards (aka the “Lammys”) were announced earlier this week in New York City. As its Web site explains, “Lambda Literary nurtures and advocates for LGBTQ writers, elevating the impact of their words to create community, preserve our legacies, and affirm the value of our stories and our lives.”

The 2024 winner for Best LGBTQ+ Mystery is A Calculated Risk, by Cari Hunter (Bold Strokes). Also nominated: Don’t Forget the Girl, by Rebecca McKanna (Sourcebooks Landmark); The Good Ones, by Polly Stewart (HarperCollins); Transitory, by J.M. Redmann (Bold Strokes); and Where the Dead Sleep, by Joshua Moehling (Poisoned Pen Press).

There were also 25 other categories of Lambda Literary Award contenders. You’ll find the full list of winners here.
