Congratulations to RMMWA member Kerry Hammond, who is an Agatha Award nominee for her short story “Lola’s Last Dance.”

The short story appeared in an anthology called Celluloid Crimes, a gripping anthology of short stories pays homage to the spirit of the razor-sharp wit and smoky intrigue of classic noir- – think The Thin Man with a fresh twist of lemon and blood. Tales include sharp-talking investigators, private eyes, weary cops, rookie reporters, and even the occasional actors, on the way up, or on the way down. One thing is for sure: Everyone is hiding something. Smart, stylish, and steeped in grit and glamour, Celluloid Crimes delivers mystery with a knowing smile and a loaded .38.

Winners will be announced at the Malice Domestic conference in late April.
