I am pleased to announce that the nominations for the first annual In Cold Blog Capote Awards have been selected for the best in true crime for the year 2007.

We here at In Cold Blog feel that the nominees represent the brightest voices of true crime writers, television and filmmakers, musicians, and bloggers in the business.

Most year-end wrap-ups tell you who they think is the best. At In Cold Blog, I like to do things differently. I want you to tell us who you believe to be the best and most deserving of a Capote. That's right! You get to vote for your favorites in the world of true crime.

Here's how it works. Below the fold you will find eight separate categories. You can vote once a day in every category every day until the poll closes. Please make up to three votes in the Hall of Fame category.

Thanks for your participation and don't forget to come back and vote every day.
