hi there, Thanks for mentioning the Publishers Weekly list, which includes my book The Collaborator of Bethlehem as a Book of The Year. You've got my name wrong, though I must say Matt Benyon Ross sounds like a good name for a mystery author. Actually I'm Matt Beynon Rees and I enjoy your site. More about me on my website www.mattbeynonrees.com where you can see articles in major U.S. newspapers which also misspell my name in various different ways.
Hi Matt, Thanks for visiting! I apologize about the misspelling of your name *blushes* - I think the list I took this list from spelled it that way (sounds like this is an ongoing problem for you!) But, I've fixed the mistake now :)Thanks for the link to your site as well.
