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!

Issue Twenty of MCM. So Criminal. It’s Good.

NO W.W.M. (WESTERN WHITE MALES) RELEASES TODAY!

The autumn 2023 issue of THRILL RIDE – THE MAGAZINE brings you twelve tales not led by Western white males, including my contribution, “Spooked.”

 

THRILL RIDE - THE MAGAZINE "NO W.W.M. (Western White Males)"

I couldn’t resist writing a thriller story set in El Salvador during the early 1980s. The majority of US personnel in the country at that time were males, many of them active-duty military or working for the CIA. All believable protagonists in an international thriller.

But they’re only background for my story, told by a Western white woman who isn’t looking for thriller action when she volunteers to serve at the San Salvador embassy.

Twenty-four-year-old Casey Collins wants to see for herself what’s happening in the war-torn country.

She gets her chance to investigate when another woman invites her on a plane ride to the eastern edge of El Salvador. Where Casey hears enough to get herself in real trouble.

In these twelves stories, you’ll meet Vietnamese magicians, female undercover operatives, Chinese assassins, and women like you never imagined.
