Why Barbara Neely Is Indeed a Grand Master By Oline H Cogdill Mystery fiction has been a major part of my life since I was a child. I’ve said so many times that I have never read a Nancy Drew or a Hardy Boys—I started with Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, etc. In the beginning, these were just entertaining stories, puzzles to figure out, characters who didn’t resemble anyone I knew. But as I got older, mysteries began to encompass new writers who introduced readers to different worlds. (Thank you, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, Marcia Muller.) One of those authors who brought readers to another world was Barbara Neely, who has been named the 2020 Grand Master by Mystery Writers of America (MWA). The 2020 Raven Award recipient is Left Coast Crime, and Kelley Ragland will receive the Ellery Queen Award at the 74th Annual Edgar Awards Banquet, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on April 30, 2020.

3:53 Delta, the protagonist and narrator of this novel, is a professional photographer, VERY good at her craft. Specializing in children’s birthday parties, Delta knows all the regular tricks. She takes pictures posed and unposed. She understands lighting and angles. Dawn can “disappear into the woodwork” and take candid photos, but she prefers to “create” the moment. She sees herself, she tells us, as a “director.” Delta can bring vitality into a gathering using various tricks, like balloon animals. And if the children in the photos still don’t look happy enough or pretty enough, there is Photoshop, where the children will get unblemished skin and wonderful smiles. She can not only remove the red dots; she can make the child’s eyes blue.
Left Coast Crime Lefty Award Winners Oline Cogdill For years, I wanted to attend Left Coast Crime (LCC) having heard such good feedback about the conference. The various western locations also interested me. But the timing was never right as it always seemed I had previous commitments in the March/April time frame. But 2020 was different. Oh, so different as we were about to find out. For the first time, the timing worked for me and, as an extra bonus, one of my dearest and closet friends lived in San Diego. Tony and I had big plans—we would spend the day before the conference and, after LCC ended, we would either stay in San Diego, a city I love, or spend time in Los Angeles.
BUSHNELL ON BOOKS: ‘Modern Fabric’ and ‘One Last Lie’ Beautifully illustrated look at the world of textile art, and a new Mike Bowditch mystery from Paul Doiron By Bill Bushnell Share MODERN FABRIC: TWENTY-FIVE DESIGNERS ON THEIR INSPIRATION AND CRAFT by Abby Gilchrist and Amelia Poole; Princeton Architectural Press, 2021; 256 pages; $40 MODERN FABRIC: TWENTY-FIVE DESIGNERS ON THEIR INSPIRATION AND CRAFT On creativity, American playwright Edward Albee (1928-2016) had an interesting thought: “The thing that makes a creative person is to be creative and that is all there is to it.” If it’s that simple, then the fabric artists featured in “Modern Fabrics” are certainly some of the most creative people in the fascinating world of textile art.
