Crime novelist Christine Wiltz has been named recipient of the 2013 Louisiana Writer Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to Louisiana's literary and intellectual life. A State Library-appointed committee chooses the annual winner, who have previously included Elmore Leonard and James Lee Burke.
Wiltz's most recent novel is Shoot the Money, a stand-alone which she has described as "social commentary disguised as a dark-humor crime novel." She is also the author of the Irish Channel detective series as well as another stand-alone, a biography, and numerous articles, essays and screenplays.
Louisiana Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne and State Librarian Rebecca Hamilton will present Wiltz with the award on November 2nd, 2013 in a ceremony kicking off the Louisiana Book Festival.
