Ok, so it's not quite the Beatles, but it's the anniversary of Craig Rice appearing on the cover of Time Magazine back in 1946.

I wanted to let everyone who has signed up for the newsletter know that we've successfully ended another contest and the winner is Jan Bilski. Congrats. The prize is a copy of the aforementioned Time magazine, Who Was That Lady?, Murder, Mystery and Malone, and the new reprint of Home Sweet Homicide. (please Jan contact me so I can mail the books to you!)

Just as a reminder. I'll have a new biography project out in the fall. Atomic Renaissance: American Women mystery authors of the 1940s/1950s, tells the stories of 7 women mystery authors who came out of WW2 and made the genre their own in a time of spy novels and PIs.
