My esteemed co-writer Barney Miller (right) and myself at the reception for the 2011 Mystery Writers' Association of America Edgar Awards Banquet last Thursday. Our book was nominated for the Young Adult category but didn't win. Who cares! The whole thing was such a total blast (and the guy who DID win our category started writing in his sixties and cried when he accepted the award, so how cool is that?). Barney and I also participated in a panel discussion the day before, which was actually a great conversation about mysteries and horror (and will be available as online video at some point in the vague future). Anyway what a night!

Ahh, that's a much more pleasant photo than Bin Laden's head wound.
Congrats Jordan! I hope you guys are collaborating on a new project because you obviously work well together.
Have you read the old guy's book? And come on admit it - you must be slightly peeved that you didn't win, right?
Sure, but it's so outweighed by the feelings of recognition and inclusion that I can barely feel it.
Congrats, and you both look great in those tuxedos.
congratulations jordan- sounds like an amazing experience! sharp photo, too.
Congrats Jordan, what a great night for the memory books. You guys look sharp:)
Yay! I love this story!
Congrats on the nom, and way to rock it.
non-win aside, that's amazing that you were nominated in the first place.
your book is a great read. you've had me extol its many virtues to you over the phone. my guess is this won't be the last one of these you'll be invited to. keep your tux ready.
Congrats on the nomination!
