Thanks, George. All the books I was expecting to see in that category are missing. I was sure PARIAH would be in there. Also thought SHANGHAI MOON and LIFE SENTENCES would be in the first category. You never know with these things.
My wife gave me a copy of BURY ME DEEP for my birthday this weekend. I'm figuring that's what put it over the top. Not sure how I'm going to claim credit when she wins, but I'm working on it.
(The power of my wife's gifts should not be dismissed. She gave me a compilation of James Brown's greatest hits for Christmas the year he died. On Christmas.

I was so excited when I saw Bury Me Deep on the list!
Thanks, Deb. I appreciated your support of it on Kerrie Smith's blog, too.
You should be very proud of Megan, Patti! BURY ME DEEP is certainly a strong contender to win an Edgar.

And congratulations to the proud mother :D
Wow, congratulations indeed! BMD has been on my TBR list forever now; looks like I'd best get reading!
Cool! Congratulations indeed.
Thanks, guys!
Congratulations to you as well as Megan; it's apparent you raised your kid right.
Thanks so much! And the other one is a prosecutor. I wonder why the crime focus. Hmmm?
So Cool! Congrats to Megan
I was SO pleased to see Bury Me Deep on the list. The book, and Megan, is a winner whether she gets the ugly little Poe statue or not!
Thanks, Rick. I think so.
I loved Bury Me Deep--very deserved.

Doubt her at your own peril.
I was wondering what powers were in play. Mrs. King, thanks for your part. Hope you like it, Dana.
This is wonderful news, and so deserved. How exciting! Congrats!
