Airship
27 author Terrence McCauley has won a Stalker Award for the Most
Criminally Underrated Author. It was presented by the blog, Pop Culture Nerd,
and more than 1,900 crime-fiction fans voted for their favorite books
and authors in the 3rd annual Stalker Award. More information on the
award can be found at http://networkedblogs.com/OiPJB
McCauley won the award for his Airship 27 novel, Prohibition, as well as for his other work.
"Sometimes an award is most aptly named
as this case. Terrence McCauley is one of the finest new crime novelist
on the scene today and it is high time readers discovered this guy."
Ron Fortier Managing Editor Airship 27 Productions
Peter Rozovsky of the blog Detectives Beyond Borders,
recently wrote that "McCauley harks back to [authors] Dashiell Hammett
and Paul Cain (and to writers and movie makers who harked back to
Hammett and Cain). While his book's themes of loyalty, doubt, and
betrayal are confined to no one era, the cover of the novel...quite
accurately reflects the early- and mid-twentieth-century gats 'n' gloves
mythos to which McCauley makes a modern-day contribution."
McCauley lives in Amenia, NY, near the Bronx. He graduated from
Fordham University in 1996. McCauley is the Manager of Government and
Community Relations for MTA Metro-North Railroad.
