and the Arthur Ellis Awards for the best Canadian Crime Fiction are:

"Canada's writers of crime fiction honoured their own yesterday at
the 22nd annual Arthur Ellis awards. The prizes, which are named for
the nom de travail of the country's official hangman, are given out
in six categories. Jon Evans won best first novel for Dark Places
(HarperCollins Canada); Barbara Fradkin won best novel for Fifth Son
(RendezVous Press); "Crocodile Tears" by Leslie Watts, which appeared
in Revenge: A Noir Anthology (Insomniac Press), won best short story;
Carrie Mac won best juvenile work for The Beckoners (Orca); and Ann
Lamontagne won for best crime writing in French for Les Douze Pierres
(Vents d'Ouest). As well, the Derrick Murdoch Award, which honours
great contributions to Canadian crime writing, went to Max Haines.

The author was cited "for years of giving new life to old crimes."
The award itself, the Arthur, is hand-carved by Barry Lambeck and is
a wooden articulated jumping-jack figure with a noose around its neck
that "dances" when a string is pulled. "

Congratulations to all.

If anyone has any idea how we can raise money to help with postage and design charges for RTE, please contact me. I spend over $70 on postage today, just mailing books to our reviewers in the cheapest way. I do need help in trying to get funding in order to keep going.

My best to all from sunny Los Angeles.
