1 in a Million, Again

Early this morning David Cranmer cued me to the fact that my Thuglit story "Indirection, In Wait" was nominated for Story South's Million Writers Award. This is for 2010 and I thought maybe it was a typo or something as I received the nod for 2009 as well. Nope. Gosh...so freakin' flattered and amused. Pretty righteous crime fiction company also getting the nod this year...Tafoya, McBride, Davidson, etc. Coolness.
