August, 2010
Each year, the Killer Nashville Mystery Writer’s Convention holds a contest for current and aspiring writers. The Claymore Award is bestowed upon the author of the best beginning (up to 50 pages) of an unpublished manuscript not currently under contract.
The ten finalists are chosen through a blind judging process and sent to the publishing partner, Five Star Press/Tekno Books. Five Star chooses the final winner, who receives an engraved replica of a Claymore dagger.
I’m proud to announce that The Blood in Snowflake Garden was chosen as a Top Ten Finalist for the award for 2010.
