| Who ever would have believed that Kate and Bella's first story would be up for an Agatha? |
I'm still in a state of disbelief. The Agatha nominations were announced on Saturday, and my first book, Murder Strikes a Pose, is up for best first novel! I'd had a very rough week, for a number of reasons, and this was the news that pulled me out of my funk.
There are four other fabulous writers on the list with me, and I have no expectations about winning. But being on the list with such talent makes me finally believe I'm a writer. Please take a moment to look at the other Agatha-nominated authors and check out their work! And if you plan to come to Malice Domestic this May, please come see me and give me a hug!

Congratulations, Tracy! It's well deserved. And my fingers are crossed that you win.
