Okay, here's the deal. The ballots for the Anthony Award nominations are out and the rules are here. You may have noticed, as your facebook feed is full right now of authors looking for nominations. There's nowt wrong with that at all. We all do it. But it can get tricky to remember what books you've read.
With all the titles flying around, it's difficult keeping track everything.
Some authors are comfortable with BSP, some aren't. Some publishers get titles out in front of everyone, some aren't able to. Some indie authors have nobody in their corner, no publisher or publicist.
If you're any one of those -or if you're a fan who wants to speak up for a particular title- add your suggestions (including title, author, category) to the comments here, or seek me out via email and facebook, and we'll add it to this list. And if you've already sent in your suggestions and don't see them here, give me another shout, some might have slipped through the initial rush.

Jay, thank you so much for including BURNT RIVER on your list. There were so many wonderful titles this year!
Jeez. Best anthology: Crooked Roads by Alec Cizak; The Deepening Shade by Jake Hinkson.
Best novel: Selena, by Greg Barth, Uncle Dust by Rob Pierce, Love You To a Pulp by CS DeWildt. (Each of this would also qualify for best paperback original and best first novel.
Thanks for the mention, Mike. Uncle Dust won't be eligible as I didn't make it to Bouchercon last year and can't make it this year. I agree with you on everyone else you mention, assuming they're eligible.
And hey, how about another ADR title..."The Donut Dealer" by Sarah M. Chen from All Due Respect, Issue #6?
Thank you muchly.
Thanks for including LPT, Jay!
Jay, I've had a lot of happy readers with the fourth in my Samuel Craddock series, A Deadly Affair at Bobtail Ridge. thanks for considering it for your list.
Thanks for doing this, Jay. FATE OF THE UNION by Max Allan Collins and myself, Matthew V. Clemens, is eligible for best paperback original, also.
Thanks so much for this, Jay. Really appreciated.
Okay, I sent in my suggestions but you did not add them.
Good grief. Thank you. I cannot keep up with the books and years.
