David Fulmer's Chasing the Devil's Tail, a novel of music, madness and murder, was nominated for a LA Times Book Prize and a Barry Award, and won a Shamus Award in 2002. Fulmer has also been a finalist in the Nicholls Fellowship Screenplay Competition and was nominated for a W.C. Handy 'Keeping the Blues Alive' Award for his documentary film, Blind Willie's Blues.
Phillip DePoy is the author of seven published books, two published plays, and thirty-seven theatre pieces that have seen production throughout the country. His play Lamb on Fire was produced in New York. Appalachian Christmas has been produced throughout the United States every year since 1991. His Dell mystery novels, featuring Atlanta character Flap Tucker, have been called the best regional detective fiction on the market today. Too Easy was a Shamus Award finalist. His play Easy, based on the first in the series, won an Edgar.
