LOOK OUT FOR EXTREME WEATHER!

The current issue of MYSTERY, CRIME, AND MAYHEM is waiting for you.

Weather can bring out the best in us. Neighbors shoveling sidewalks. Friends helping during a flood. Folks opening their homes to strangers struck by lightning.

Bad weather can also bring out the worst. The storm takes over and in the chaos, criminal behavior may have no consequences.

Join the MCM syndicate as we explore different weather patterns and how some people take advantage of them. While others fight them.

I chose to set my story in the aftermath of a major ice storm that crippled Oregon’s Willamette Valley last January.  Star Stevens gets an urgent summons from her father. She must come to Eugene immediately to help him rescue a mutual friend from financial disaster.

In “Mother Nature Lends a Hand,” I learn what’s been going on with  three of the main characters from my comic mystery, Murder, Ken Kesey, and Me. I think you’ll enjoy revisiting Eugene and catching up with them, too!

For my story, “Baking Into the Dark,” I drew on memories of moving with our fifth-, seventh-, and eighth grade children from my Oregon hometown to the capital of Denmark.

All went well for us in real life, but my mother-gene conjured up dangerous hazards waiting our kids in a country where the legal age for buying beer from a local store was fifteen.

In my story, sixteen-year-old Toby gives his mother plenty to worry about as he takes the part of a medieval baker during an alcohol-fueled weekend role-playing event in a forest north of Copenhagen.

This fun-packed issue includes eight more short stories and one essay, all waiting to entertain you.
