Before someone demands an obviously justified recount, my most humble thanks go to Sandra Ruttan, Spinetingler magazine, and all the folks who voted The Cleanup to the center podium in the 2007 Spinetingler Awards.
Congrats and red red wine to friends/heroes Laura Lippman and Al Guthrie (who won twice), banquet buddy Stacia Decker, Crimespace czar Daniel Hatadi, Bitter Lemon Press for best publisher, and Chris F. Holm for best short story on the Web.
