Well, she’s at least wishing for a Derringer, of that we’re sure. The Short Mystery Fiction Society’s annual award is called the Derringer, and Anita’s short story “Twas the Night” from Sister-studded holiday anthology THE GIFT OF MURDER has been nominated as a 2010 finalist in the category of Best Short Story from 1,000 to 4,000 words. Society members will be voting through April 30th, with the winner announced on May 1st. Stock up on liniment, because our chapter will have its fingers and toes collectively crossed for the next week, Anita!
