One of these things just doesn't belong.

I've just been given the news that my book was named a finalist for Best First Novel by the International Thriller Writers.

Given the other books on the list, I'm not rushing to compose my acceptance speech, and I'm still convinced this is all a cruel joke by Banks and Rickards.

MacBride's is the only cover that has a lot of red in it, so I'd say it's the odd one out.

Congratulations!

Congratulations. So, do they decide these things with a cage match? Because you could so kick MacBride's ass.

Congratulations! Do you plan to attend the awards? They are being held in Phoenix… in July. I guess the resorts in HELL were all booked up.

Tempe, Arizona is my hometown, so I get to make fun of the place.

Bring sunscreen.

Tis not a cruel joke, Mr Terrenoire. Tis deserving. Besides, you know you actually have to Greco-Roman wrestle all the other nominees, don't you? Grease is optional. I suggest you take that option. Don't give 'em any friction.
