Here are the 2008 Agatha Awards that were given out at the Malice Domestic convention this past weekend. I have gone ahead and included the list from 2007 also… ss a sort of reminder of all of the great Cozy Mystery authors who have recently been nominated. (Not to worry, though… I have the list of all of the winners and nominees from many years on the site!) All of the nominated authors are winners in my book!

Finally! I just posted the Agatha Award Nominees for 2008, and there are a lot of our favorite Cozy Mystery Authors on the lists of the wonderful nominated authors and books. I was surprised to see that I already had pages for all of the five Best First Novels' authors! (Wow! I had first heard of them from Cozy Mystery site readers' recommendations.)

I wonder how many cozy mystery readers would be able to answer the "How was your weekend?" question with "Fantastic!" "Fabulous!" "Wonderful!" "Exciting!" "Interesting!" "Phenomenal!" "Cozy!"??? If you were lucky enough to have been in the Washington, D.C. area (Arlington, VA)… at the Marriott Crystal Gateway April 25-27 (2008)… then you probably would be able to answer that question with just such words.

OK… First things first… I have to admit that I never got on the NYPD Blue bandwagon. I definitely tried, but I just couldn't quite "get the show" the way other people were… One of my good cozy mystery reading friends absolutely loved the show, so I tried to like it on different occasions. Try as I did, I just didn't "get it."

I continue to work on the Edgar Awards…. the Best First Novel category. Well, I am embarrassed to admit it, but I didn't know who Richard L. Fish is…. other than I know that there is a special Edgar Award which is given every year in his name. Well, imagine my surprise this afternoon when I discovered that he won the Best First Novel in 1963 (for a novel called The Fugitive.) He wrote many other books…. as Richard L. Fish and Robert L. Pike. Aha! Now I know….
