Help with 9d: One novelist enters pass, keeping his head in danger (3-4) I have I?E-?O?L. The answer is the last of 30 US State nicknames. I assume it is something like "Ice-Bowl" for Alaska but can't find a reference to that nickname or get a handle on the wordplay.

Thank you! Not a State nickname but a straightforward cryptic.... As always, I was the author of my own misfortune. I was looking for 30 States but it is actually 30 CLUES and there is one State name covered by two sets of lights....
By my reckoning, Jack, although there are 30 nicknames, they relate to only 24 states.
