I see your bucket, Susannah and raise you a trough! Nice to know I'm not the only one drooling over Joanie.

By the way, Susannah, many many congrats on the terrific Conan Doyle win! I'm in complete awe - what a brilliant coup!

I have to put a bucket under my husband to catch the drool

Brilliant line!

Don;t know what the Conan Doyle ref means, but sounds good so well done, Susannah!

Susannah won the Conan Doyle Award - £1,000 and stacks of deer-stalkerish kudos.

should say I'd have had

Shucks, Susannah, you know how to make a girl feel good! I didn't enter because I haven't written any short crime stories (unless you count flashes) - still learning my craft - and I sort of suck of short stories anyway. Don't do yourself down - you wrote a stonking good story and it won. You rock!
