Good news!
Abingdon’s Boardinghouse Murder is a finalist for the
Agatha Award for Best Nonfiction book.
The Agatha Awards are presented by the attendees of the
Malice Domestic convention each year.
From the website (https://www.malicedomestic.net/),
the organization’s “About” page says:
“Established in 1989, Malice Domestic is an annual fan convention that takes place each year in Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. Malice celebrates the Traditional Mystery, books best typified by the works of Agatha Christie. The genre is loosely defined as mysteries which contain no explicit sex, or excessive gore or violence.”
The attendees of the convention nominate, then based on the
number of nominations, post the top five in each category to the final ballot.
The winner for each category is voted for and presented during the Malice Domestic
convention.
Since the launch of the book in May 2024, I have had several
book signings, author talks, radio interviews, and an appearance this summer at
Bouchercon in Nashville on a panel about true crime.
I’m grateful for all the support and encouragement for Abingdon’s
Boardinghouse Murder.
Thank you!
