Patti, when you return perhaps you could reveiw THE BAT (1959) with Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead and CONFLICT (1943) with Humphrey Bogart in the 'forgotton movies' strand, they really are two terrific old movies.
It's a great honor to be nominated, and you get to go have fun in NY. So HAVE FUN IN NY!! Best wishes for a win, but I really hope you both have a marvelous time. We'll be thinking of you on The Night.
If this is inappropriate, please forgive me. The world of mystery writing is fragmented and word doesn't travel. So I'm writing to tell people of the death of William Hjortsberg, author of Falling Angel, which became the De Niro film, Angel Heart. Gatz, as he was known, was my most treasured friend. He died of pancreatic cancer at age 76. He was primarily a screenwriter (Legends, for example).
Patricia Abbott is the author of more than 125 stories that have appeared online, in print journals and in various anthologies. She is the author of two print novels CONCRETE ANGEL (2015) and SHOT IN DETROIT (2016)(Polis Books). CONCRETE ANGEL was nominated for an Anthony and Macavity Award in 2016. SHOT IN DETROIT was nominated for an Edgar Award and an Anthony Award in 2017. A collection of her stories I BRING SORROW AND OTHER STORIES OF TRANSGRESSION will appear in 2018.
She also authored two ebooks, MONKEY JUSTICE and HOME INVASION and co-edited DISCOUNT NOIR. She won a Derringer award for her story "My Hero." She lives outside Detroit.

Terribly sorry, Richard...I had been aware of his novels, but hadn't known about his Richard Brautigan biography till reading his obituary.
And all good things for all the Abbotts!
