So many millions of congrats on this much-deserved honor. I still have my very battered p-back Baltimore Blues, which I purchased at the CVS--back when it carried books-- up the st from my home & which I read in a single night sitting up with my ailing cat the late great Cassie. The mention of Paige Rose made me weep, such a bright light who somehow made you thrilled to buy more books than you'd planned, always loved her appearance in "In A Strange City" when Tess is on Poe's trail.
"The crime novel requires a moral universe where people die for a reason"--I love this and your reflections in general. Also, you won the fashion Edgar.❤️❤️
I know you’re not supposed to comment on people’s appearance but in photo 2, you look gorgeous, young, and happier than ever. The outfit and accessories might have contributed but I think it’s mainly your esprit de corps. Congratulations!
Congratulations! And loved the speech. I don’t remember who/what turned me on to you, but it was over 20 years ago and I was living in Canton in Baltimore City. I got introduced to Tess and I’ve stayed for all the rest! And you motivated me to honor my pretty side; she’s still in there somewhere.
Brava! And congrats- I’ve always loved mystery and crime fiction because the “ no stone unturned” ethos of the crime solvers makes me feel hopeful, even if it’s twisty or
I know this isn't the point, but your shoes! And your skirt! Both would have been enough. And your speech - I hate speeches and I loved yours. I want to be a Table 20 friend. There, I said it.

I’m of the mind that it’s fine to tell people they look gorgeous, so thank you.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award and pithy speech.
And those earrings and inded the whole outfit look fab!
I might buy the earrings if RTR drops the price . . .
Yeah, they're charging way too much. I looked them up. Very pretty, but you can get similar vintage ones for sooo much less.
Congratulations!
