Mercury's Rise, the fourth in my Silver Rush mystery series, received the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award at Left Coast Crime in Sacramento, California, March 31, 2012. The award is for "the best historical (events prior to 1950) mystery published during the previous year."
Other winners in past years include Jacqueline Winspear, Rebecca Cantrell, Kelli Stanley, Tony Broadbent, Sharan Newman, and Rhys Bowen. Wonderful writers, all, and I'm honored to be among the recipients of the award.
So who, you might ask, is Bruce Alexander? You can read about him here in an interview with January Magazine, republished in an "In Memoriam" article.

Congratulations!
Ann, I just saw this. Congratulations and richly deserved!
Congrats Ann! Just picked up Silver Lies as a kindle free download. Looking forward to reading :). Also featured it on my book blog (http://www.ebooksfreedaily.com/)
Hello all...
Thank you for the congrats and for stopping by! Jay: I shall check out your book blog.
I'm a bit behind (understatement) in getting the Silver Rush mystery blog up-to-date, but hope to update it soon....
One more (late) bit of congratulations!
I just finished reading "Mercury's Rise"...in fact, I read the entire series back-to-back in the course of a week after finding "Silver Lies" as a free download on Kindle. Please tell me there will be another book in the series...how in the world is Inez going to square things with the Reverend???
Hello Suz!
Yes, there will be more in the Silver Rush series... only I write a whole lot slower than you read, so I need to beg for your patience. :-}
And yes, Inez is in a bit of a sticky personal predicament, but that's what makes it all so fun, right? ;-)
I'm very glad to hear you liked the series... and oh my, if you read all four back-to-back, I hope there weren't too many "oopses" in the stories (i.e., blue eyes become brown, limp changes from one leg to another, etc.).
Thanks so much for writing. Happy readers make my day!
