Nan and I would like to announce that we each have a short story in the upcoming anthology Murder New York Style, which will be released by LL Dreamspell on November 1, 2007.
We are both very grateful to the New York Tri-State chapter of Sisters in Crime. The chapter board and the anthology committee spent several years on this project, gathering and screening stories, making tough decisions and then finding a publisher.
I'll be sharing a lot of the excitement with all of you since this is my first published piece and I am a bit awed to be in the company of the twenty talented, professional and award winning writers whose stories fill the pages along with my beloved "Strike Zone."
The first mega-excitement is the book cover which, if I managed to insert it correctly, should appear to the right.
What do you think, so far?

Terrie --
As soon as I get back to the states, I will post this in the sidebar. How exciting!
--Laura, who leaves Milan in the morning. I've eaten so much, I swear my hives have twice as much surface area to cover.
Hi Laura,
Enjoy the rest of your trip! Don't worry about what you ate, you can exercise when you get home.
Still with the hives, huh? My sympathy.
Come home safe. We miss you.

Terrie - This is so exciting! I'm so happy for you and Nan.
Thanks for posting the cover. Very pleasing.
The cover looks swell, and I love the nefarious reflections. Can't wait to have one for my very own.
Leah,
Thanks for your kind wishes. I'm glad you like the cover. I didn't know what to expect and I'm thrilled with it.
Clare,
I love the reflections of the weapons.
And if I may paraphrase, I sing to you and Leah both:
"One day your cover will come."

Hi there. Thanks for your kind comments. I've only been blogging a couple of weeks and zI don't yet post as often as I would like to, but already I've met some great writers. I joined the Novel Racers and it has opened my eyes to so many other blogs, yours and Travis's to name just a few. I should have done this a long time ago. The cover's great, by the way. Very film noir-ish.
I love the cover, Terrie. Very dark and dramatic looking. Big congrats to both you and Nan, and I shall make every endeavour to get a copy when it is released.
The first publication is so exciting so enjoy every minute of it. Eat, drink and be merry, my friend!
Helen,
Welcome. I stopped by novel Racers and that looks like a great site. You are in splendid company. I'm so glad that you like the cover.
Dawn,
As we say in New York, "who would have thunk?" Great success on your book tour! Shouldn't you be gone about now? Oh, New York, New Zealand, time zones, different days. Whenever it is, have fun!
Terrie
Wow, that's awesome, congratulations! You must be so excited--I sure would be.
Can't wait to hear more about it and to check it out when it makes its way to bookstores. Yipeee!
And the cover looks cool and creepy, just like a good mystery compliation should!
I love those reflections. Let us know where we can order a copy. And congrats on your first published piece.
Terrie
The book cover is nifty. When I zoomed in on it, I saw the reflections and that made it very intriguing.
Congratulations.
Give us the details on how to order it and all that. I buy it for sure.
Whoops, I should have conveyed congratulations to Nan as well. So here goes. Congratulations. Sorry for the being a bit dense and reading too fast.
Hi Crabby,
"Cool and creepy"--that is the perfect definition of how a compilation of mysteries should look. Thanks for that.
Hi Travis,
Thanks for your good wishes. I appreciate your interest in wanting to read MNYS. It will be available on Amazon and on the publisher's website, a good ole Texas outfit called LL Dreamspell. Ingram is the distributor so it will be available by order in bookstores as well. I will be shouting the details from the ceiling as soon as I have them confirmed.
Terrie
Hi Alex,
Nan and I appreciate your good wishes. We really like being part of anything that appears "Intriguing."
We'll certainly let the world know when they can get their hands on a copy of MNYS. (If only to see those nifty reflections up close and personal!)
Terrie
Terrie, I'm excited for you and Nan and all the other SinC-NY'ers...the cover's gorgeous and I just know the collection is going to be great. I'll be at your opening with bells on!
Lois,
Thanks for your good wishes. All of the women of mystery are wonderfully supportive. What a great group!
Terrie
Hi again,
Just got my first meme and it was far too exciting. Tagging you.
