I'm going to take this suggestion as an opportunity to blow
my own bugle. Greg Ward just won the Crime Writers of Canada
Arthur Ellis short-fiction award for his story "Dead Wood,"
published in Hard Boiled Love which Peter Sellers and I
edited for Toronto's Insomniac Press. Vern Smith's "The
Gimmick," again from HBL, was also on the short list of
nominees.
Rara Avians may find the series, consisting of ICED, Hard
Boiled Love and the upcoming Revenge, a good place to source
classic and contemporary Canuck Noir, if I'm allowed to say
so myself. There's even one of Kevin Smith's little Montreal
gritties in the mix, happy to say.
Best Kerry
