Thanks, Gang: I'm very honoured to have been selected as a finalist for this award, and can't wait to meet everyone at Bouchercon. Interestingly, I'm a finalist for writing as a woman, while one of the other finalists is nominated for writing as a man. That writer is Robert Galbraith - better known as J.K. Rowling.
Cheers,
Grant McKenzie (aka M.C. Grant)
