Denver Decisions - The Rap Sheet

Left Coast? West Coast? Doesn't confuse me.

Today our traveling kitty pilot Panzer made a trip to The Rap Sheet site. There he found news about the Left Coast Crime convention held in Denver (Colorado).

 

According to the post by J. Livingston Pierce, the Lefty Awards were announced there. The post lists the winner in each of the four categories and also the other nominated novels in each.

 

Panzer says, "If somebody from Denver wants to sell you some ocean front property, think about it before you buy. Denver is not on the left coast of the U.S."

 

Note: This is a short-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea to drink while you read the list.

Leftys Coming in the Spring - The Rap Sheet

Today Panzer made a long overdue trip to The Rap Sheet site. There with just a little digging in the posts he found one about the Lefty awards.

 

Not on the list this time. They don't want the competition.

According to J. Kingston Pierce's post, the Left Coast Crime convention has announced the nominees for the Lefty awards. The nominees are in four categories: Best Humorous Mystery Novel, Best Historical Mystery Novel, Best Debut Mystery Novel, and Best Mystery Novel (not in other categories). The post includes a link the original press release.

 

 Panzer says, "There are too many nominees to list here, but you can see them at The Rap Sheet site."

The fourth he found under the wiper blade for the windscreen was about the CrimeFEST Awards nominees.
