I am more than somewhat chuffed to have just received my contributor's copies of THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST BRITISH CRIME 8 and the American version THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST BRITISH MYSTERIES .
The editor is, of course, the legendary Maxim Jakubowski and the writers are:
Ian Rankin (including a new Rebus), Alexander McCall Smith, David Hewson, Christopher Brookmyre, Simon Kernick, A.L. Kennedy, Louise Walsh, Kate Atkinson, Colin Bateman, Stuart McBride and Andrew Taylor. The full list of contributors is as follows: Ian Rankin, Mick Herron, Denise Mina, Edward Marston, Marilyn Todd, Kate Atkinson, Stuart MacBride, David Hewson, Alexander McCall Smith, Nigel Bird, Robert Barnard, Lin Anderson, Allan Guthrie, A.L. Kennedy, Simon Kernick, Roz Southey, Andrew Taylor, Sheila Quigley, Phil Lovesey, Declan Burke, Keith McCarthy, Christopher Brookmyre, Gerard Brennan, Matthew J. Elliott, Colin Bateman, Ray Banks, Simon Brett, Adrian Magson, Jay Stringer, Amy Myers, Nick Quantrill, Stephen Booth, Paul Johnston, Zoƫ Sharp, Paul D. Brazill, Peter Lovesey, Louise Welsh, Liza Cody, Peter Turnbull and Nicholas Royle.
It's great to be in there with THAT lot, I can tell you!
Many thanks to Maxim for including me and thanks to the team from CrimeFactory who first accepted my story, Guns Of Brixton.

Congrats! That's quite an achievement Mr. Brazill.
I was really chuffed when I turned to the blurb at the back and saw our names together. I really hadn't expected to be there at all. Almost cried. It looks tremedous 'in the flesh'.
I's amazing to be mentioned on the back page-Nick and Jay, too- and in the introduction, too!
Oh, the company you keep!
There goes the neighborhood!
Many congrats, Paul and to the rest of the contributors. What a talented line-up and a terrific all round bunch of people!
Congratulations!
What an impressive list of names.
Ta much. I've just started reading on the bus today.
