Derringer Winners

by · May 16, 2009

I apologize for posting this late. For one, I thought the announcements were due out on May 15, but they were actually announced on May 1st. And for two, the first week of May happened to be an extraordinarily busy week for me in my other world (not writing — I was taking finals in a grad school course, graduating and driving 2000 miles with my wife) so I completely missed the announcement.

My story “Dead Even” didn’t win.

But some great stories did, and they came from some great crime fiction sources. If you dig crime fiction, you should consider using this list as a jumping off point for authors you haven’t tried yet and/or magazines or anthologies you haven’t checked out before.
