Hi Elaine, On April 1st the short stories that are selected by the Derringer judges from all the nominated stories will be announced, then that short list will be voted on by the entire Society, then the winners will be announced. Can’t remember the exact day for sure, but I believe it is around the first of May. I’ve got my fingers crossed for your Anon-9 and Glenn though.
