Her Rage Against the Dying has received nominations for “Best First Mystery” awards from the genre’s top organizations.
Talk about last laughs: when Ms. Masterman first submitted her novel (with the then title One Tough Broad) an agent rejected it, saying “no one was interested in a woman who’s over 30.” Well, plenty of people are interested in Ms. Masterman’s 59-year old Brigid Quinn, who can kick ass with the best of them of any age, any gender.
SoM’s interview with Becky Masterman will be posted later this week.
