"Dredge" Selected for BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2010

I received some exciting news yesterday: My story "Dredge" (published in Hayden's Ferry Review 45) has been selected by Lee Child and Otto Penzler for Best American Mystery Stories 2010, coming out this fall. Thanks to Child and Penzler for selecting the story, and to Beth Staples and the other HFR editors for publishing it in the first place. If you'd rather not wait until the fall to read the story, you can read it now by picking up the most recent issue of HFR, either individually or by subscribing to the magazine. Click here or write HFR@asu.edu to find out how to get yours today.
