Dana Cameron is a ferociously talented writer from the Boston area. I think the only reason more people didn't think of her as one of the new faces of Boston crime fiction is she doesn't write specifically about Boston and her work, while full of crime, has been more nice than noir. Till now.
And let me tell you, when Femme Sole was nominated for the short story Edgar, I wasn't surprised in the least. Pleased, happy, grateful, thrilled, oh yes indeed, but not surprised. Read it here on Dana's blog. You'll see.

Thank you for posting this. I was floored with Femme Sole. Incredible writing and a very unexpected turn, although I'm left wanting desperately to know what happens with Seaver! I definitely will be looking for more of Dana's work.
I loved Femme Sole. I read it along with the other nominations for the Agatha and think Dana Cameron has a good chance to win. I agree with Shelley Watters that the ending twist was unexpected and deftly handled.
