Being a struggling writer myself, I just like the idea of giving struggling and/or Irish writers a bit of oxygen, for whatever it's worth - and if enough blogs do the same, then it is worth it. <BR/><BR/>But I do it despite the industry, not because of it, or to support it. <BR/><BR/>Apologies for splitting hairs, by the way. I'm delighted for the mention. It's true what they, it really is nice just to be nominated.Declan Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322645323239292406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-59260002315926997742009-03-30T18:29:00.000+01:002009-03-30T18:29:00.000+01:00HE really needs to get more sunMaybe Peter looks s...<I> HE really needs to get more sun</I><BR/><BR/>Maybe Peter looks so sickly green because he has seen too many Banana slugs in his Santa Cruz vacation.marconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-52069935573273273972009-03-30T17:55:00.000+01:002009-03-30T17:55:00.000+01:00Hear, hear!

Your tireless efforts to bring attention to crime fiction, especially of the irish geneology, is entertaining and well written. Kudos and good luck.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-59439248594709217812009-03-30T14:10:00.000+01:002009-03-30T14:10:00.000+01:00Declan, while I suppose it's noble to admit your m...Declan, while I suppose it's noble to admit your motives, I think all of us walk that line. Whether you realize it or not, this is a highly valued site where you do a lot of work talking about other authors. You're also consistent with the material. And there aren't kickbacks involved.<BR/><BR/>Truth is, the award would be better called 'special services to the community' I think, but the name originally came from a pre-existing award and so there you go. Whether you like it or not, what you do here has value to the community!<BR/><BR/>And certainly, everyone's entitled to their opinions about who should be nominated. There's always a narrowing-down process. Some people mentioned were nominated last year, though certainly not the Spinetingler people. I'm not in it for the money. I'm in it for the power. ;)Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-83172152102512905672009-03-30T13:39:00.000+01:002009-03-30T13:39:00.000+01:00I have to disagree on one thing Dec, Peter's head ...I have to disagree on one thing Dec, Peter's head is not that large as we squeezed him into a Nissan Micra when we took him up to Dartmoor. He didn't get out of the car but that was more to do with me reading him The Hound of the Baskervilles, the night before as his bedtime story, and the heavy menacing mist than a Mekon like head. ;o)<BR/><BR/>I can't take seriously any award for special services to the "industry" that does not include in the nominations Karen Meek of Euro Crime and Maxine Clarke of Petrona and Friend Feed crime and mystery room.Uriah Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046023583067265187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938060587020568315.post-50406866988998327572009-03-30T09:12:00.000+01:002009-03-30T09:12:00.000+01:00What a lot of waffle!
