When I've had grammar questions, the CMS and the AP manual of style often come up when I Google. And also sources that compare and contrast these two fonts of advice. So I don't subscribe, but it would save you time if you had the manual(s) at the ready. Is the time saved worth the subscription fee? Dealer's choice.

And Then There Were None, also by Christie, is another good example.

After you've voted, please check your junk mail file if you don't see the confirmatory e-mail (necessary to tally the vote). My confirmations come to my junk/spam box for some reason. The vote doesn't count until you've confirmed the e-mail.

The sponsor of the P&E poll, The Critters Workshop, has entered the contest. 15,000 members strong. So if you haven't yet voted for TNBW, do so! http://critters.org/predpoll/tally_writerws.ht

RIP, Sonny. It's a shame many will never receive a review from one of the best.

My thoughts, exactly, Vern.

Recently, the daughter of Archie Hooton, known as Sonny on this site, contacted me to tell me Archie had passed away. Suzanne thought that members of TNBW who interacted with Sonny over the years here might want to know that he is no longer with us, and I agreed to post this announcement.

I enjoyed his critiques of my work and reviewing his novel, The Reluctant Spy (available on Amazon). I especially got a kick out of the repartees between him and John Hamler. Witty, literate, and intellectual, he was an asset to TNBW.

Congratulations, Rhiannon!

You're the best, Randy! I'm now in first place alone for my novel and have moved up to 6th in Authors. Thanks to my TNBW community!

Thanks for weighing in, Sol. This would be a feather in your cap should TNBW win the Workshop category. And it would give creds to its members! P&E has been widely read and regarded. They're looking for a manager now to continue with the program. Hate to see them disappear from lack of a matrix of support. But the annual Readers Poll will likely continue.

TNBW is in 2nd in the Writers Workshop category, and there are only two entries so far. So a good chance to make our site a winner. Sol, marketing guy, pitch in, dude!

Janet, you can input your own books and then it will be on the list of entrants. That would save the voters the trouble of putting them in individually and then copying and pasting the URLs.

Rhiannon, here's the link:
http://critters.org/predpoll/novelthrill.shtml At the top you can click on categories and scroll down to whatever category you want to cast a vote. You can cast one vote per e-mail address. If you want to add your book to a category, fill in the blanks and it will appear on the list of entrants shortly. In addition to voting for TNBW, you can vote in as many categories as you can, including your book and the books of other TNBW writers, including JTP and me! But the vote doesn't count until it's confirmed by return e-mail, which they'll send you.

Randy, thanks for voting for me, man!
