The Winner!

Our Olympic trials are over, and The Little Blog of Murder has its representative for Beijing.

Or, well, maybe just Ohio.

But congratulations are in order for Kim Pierce, who was the winner of last week’s contest, and lots of fabulous prizes!

For those of you who attempted the answers, here is the run-down of questions and answers:

1. (From C.R.) The sleuth in the Morgue Mama mysteries is named Dolly Madison Sprowls. Is Sprowls her maiden name or her married name?

It is her married name.

2. (from Don) In Stuff To Die For, what is the name of the shadowy character who befriends the two heroes and saves their lives?

Angel

3. (from Casey) My Pepper Martin mystery series features a cemetery tour guide who investigates mysteries for the ghosts who “live” in her cemetery. What is Pepper’s real name?

Penelope

4. (from Judy) What make, model, and year is Stella’s motorcycle? And as a bonus, what color is it?
It’s a 1988 Harley-Davidson Low Rider, and it’s black.

5. (From Jeff) What was the name of Anthony Boucher’s first novel?

The Case of the Seven of Calvary

Again a congrats to Kim, and a thanks to all those who participated! We appreciate your readership and hope it was a fun thing for you.

Happy Reading!

2. Kim,

   Congratulations — and thank you for reading the Little Blog of Murder.

   I don’t know about the others, but I’m going to mail out that BRAND NEW CAR! I promised today.

   What’s that? You can’t mail a BRAND NEW CAR? Darn. Then I guess I’ll send a book and some research notes instead.

3. Congratulations, Kim! Here’s another question for you. Which of the Pepper books would you like? Or, if you’ve read them all, would you rather wait for a copy of “Night of the Loving Dead”?

5. I think the runner-up should at least be mentioned.

   Zorro had some really interesting answers.

   1) C.R.’s question
   Zorrow answered Ice Cream
   2)Don’s question
   Zorrow answered Fried
   3)Casey’s question
   Zorrow answered pickle
   4)Judy’s question
   Zorrow answered Does Not Apply
   5)Jeff’s question
   Zorro answered bake at 400 degrees
   Personally, I think he was applying for culinary school and sent his application to us by mistake. But good answers never the less, Zman.

6. Zorro came pretty close, but UNFORTUNATELY he’s related to one of us making him ineligible for the contest and probably everything else.

8. C.R. I will be in Cleveland in September and will gladly pick up the new car if you let me know where to pick it up.

9. Kim, if only you’d emailed a little sooner. I already sent the book. Maybe next year.

10. OK, Kim. It will be out in January and I’ll stick your email address and your snail mail address in my calendar then. If you don’t hear from me, give me a nudge! That’s a long time from now!!

    PS, zorro’s related to one of us? Who?

11. Kind of scary, isn’t it, Casey?

    Congrats, Kim!
