New Julius Katz story and Thriller nom

Does Julius look angry in the drawing? Well, he is! And if you want to find out why, check out the latest issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (June, available now) and read 'One Angry Julius Katz and Eleven Befuddled Jurors'. Ellery Queen is even offering an extended preview on their website (just click on the story name to get to the preview).

I'd also like to thank the International Thriller Writers for nominating my story, 'A Hostage Situation' for their Thriller Awards, and congratulate the other nominees.
