Eric Mayer

Is this ironic? While I was busy reading Nebula Award nominees posted at Asimov's (see previous entry) I should've been looking at the Left Coast Crime 15 site. When I went there this morning, to check for some information on another Poisoned Pen Press author, I was shocked/floored/gobsmacked to see Five For Silver (by none other than Reed and Mayer) in the list for the Bruce Alexander History Mystery Award! As Phil Rizzuto would say -- Holy Cow! It's especially neat because Fivefer, as we refer to it, is my favorite of our books, thus far.

The listed nominees:

The LEFTY is for the best humorous mystery novel published in 2004.

Blue Blood, Susan McBride
Carnage on the Committee, Ruth Dudley Edwards
Holy Guacamole, Nancy Fairbanks
Perfect Sax, Jerrilyn Farmer
We'll Always Have Parrots, Donna Andrews

The BRUCE ALEXANDER HISTORY MYSTERY AWARD is for the best historical mystery (set anywhere and in any time period up to the end of World War II) published in 2004.

Birds of a Feather, Jacqueline Winspear
Five for Silver, Mary Reed and Eric Mayer
Murder on Marble Row, Victoria Thompson
Tyrant of the Mind, Priscilla Royal
The Witch in the Well, Sharan Newman

The CALAVERA, like the Otter in 2004, is for the best mystery set in the geographic area covered by Left Coast Crime and published in 2004.

Family Claims, Twist Phelan
Grave Endings, Rochelle Krich
Shadow Play, David Cole
Snap Shot, Meg Chittenden
What Others Know, L.C. Hayden

Eric Mayer Byzantine Blog Probably the only vaguely interesting thing about me is that with my wife, Mary Reed, I co-author the John the Eunuch mystery series set in sixth century Constantinople. But that doesn't stop me from dwelling here on the boring minutiae of the rest of my life, present and past, along with the occasional word about writing.
