Edgar Award Finalist, 2010

The Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award is the most prestigious honor I’ve enjoyed.

This award was for the first book in “The Entomological Tales of Augustus T. Percival” series, entitled “Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone.”

I’ll add a description of the entire event shortly but, for now, here are some photos of the award and event.

First is the Edgar award itself. Of course, it’s named the Edgar Award after Edgar Allen Poe so the award is intended to resemble him. (I wonder if his eyebrows, eyelashes, and mustache really did align that way.)

Next is a photo of my agent and me in the lobby of the hotel where the Edgar Awards were actually presented.

This next photo shows the finalists for the Young Adult Mystery division of the Edgar Awards.

And this final photo is of all of the Edgar Award nominees for all divisions.

And here’s a link to the actual nomination list: Petronella – 2010 Edgar Nominations Document
