Yes!

I'm so excited for her. This means a whole lot in book sales.

She writes mystery novels. Her novel was also nominated for the Edgar but she was a runner-up. But being a runner-up is still huge.

6. Yes. She is Nancy Pickard. And she has written a bunch of
mystery/suspence novels that have done very well.

But winning these big awards is just so much fun. And so good for her book sales.

I think her book also won the Lovey Award. So it has done really, really well.

She is now working on another book set in Kansas. She lives in Kansas.

Yea!
