Simon Brett to receive the CWA (British Crime Writers Association) 2014 Diamond Dagger. Congratulations, Simon. Well done!
CWA chair Alison Joseph was quoted as saying: “I am delighted that the CWA Diamond Dagger for 2014 is to be awarded to Simon Brett. He is a writer of great wit and integrity, and his success over the years has been very well deserved. The Diamond Dagger is awarded not only for a writer’s work but also for their contribution to the genre, and Simon has always been a stalwart supporter of his fellow writers. I am sure I am not alone in feeling that it is entirely appropriate and merited that Simon should be receiving this award.”
The award will be presented in June.

I can't believe there are no comments. This award is much deserved. Wonderful writer, and very funny man. I remember meeting him at our Bouchercon in Monterey 1997 and from Crime Fest in Bristol. I have read almost all of his books. Congratulations Simon.
