Medium of Murder wins Award!

While I was away on a press trip, at dinner with a long table full of writers, I received the following message from the editors at Red Coyote Press:
We’re happy to announce that MEDIUM OF MURDER has been honored as an Award-Winning Finalist in the
Fiction & Literature: Anthologies category of the National Best Books 2008 Awards,
sponsored by USA Book News.
Congratulations!
Best regards,
Susan Budavari and Suzanne Flaig
Red Coyote Press
It was a wonderful moment to share with other writers!
The next day I received a request to attend another book signing and this review showed up on Amazon:
“Quick Draw” by Sarah Parkin is nothing short of delightful! Her two eleven year old protagonists win out against a treacherously violent would-be murderer and thief. Having lied to their parents that each is spending the night at the other’s house, they are sleeping out at the local electronics store. With so many others, they await morning and the sale of the newest electronic magical device. With the outbreak of mayhem and violence, the boys are in great jeopardy, saved by quick thinking and their version of a “quick draw.” Parkin knows kids and is aptly able to portray them with empathy and insight.
This is so exciting!
