- Thanks for your comments on my page. I've heard of Crimebake, but have never attended. Perhaps this year! Great to hear about your recent publishing ventures. I hope to follow that lead!

Brian L Porter said… - Hi J.E. At midnight GMT, 'I was at #1 in authors, 'Legacy of the Ripper' was at #5 in Thrillers, and my children's book Tilly's Tale was #1 in children's and #1 in Artwork. The rankings have changed since because votes were still being placed after the closing time but P & E have assured me they saved the voting database at the allotted closing time and that votes placed after that time will not be counted. Well done on your short story's top ten performance.
Best regards
Brian
