Silver Falchion Award Winner

Wow, this is exciting news! I just learned that IN THE BLOOD won the 2015 Silver Falchion Award for BEST NOVEL: Crime Thriller. I’m so grateful and would like to thank “Killer Nashville” for this honor. Congrats, as well, to fellow nominees and my writer pals who won in other categories, including Hank Phillippi Ryan, Catriona McPherson, John Sandford and other esteemed writers.

HISTORY

The Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Awards began in 2008 as a way to honor attending writers at Killer Nashville. Alumni of Killer Nashville then asked if we could open the awards to them, which we did. Non-alumni then asked if we could open the awards to them. We did. Then, alumni from other countries asked if we could open the award to them. We listened there, as well. And now the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Awards are open—fiction and nonfiction, anthologies, essays, collections, and more—to writers throughout the world.
