LOOK OUT FOR EXTREME WEATHER!

Posted on by Diana Deverell

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.

FBI SPECIAL AGENT DAWNA SHEPHERD IS BACK!

Posted on by Diana Deverell

FBI Special Agent Dawna Shepherd first appeared in my fiction in Night on Fire, my second international thriller which is set in Denmark during a war between two rival biker gangs.

I enjoy writing about Dawna and she stars in many short stories and comes to the aid of Casey Collins, my thriller heroine, in the next two novels in that series.

In “Foul Trouble”, my eighteenth short mystery story featuring Dawna, she returns to Copenhagen on a temporary assignment to aid the Danish National Police. Her efforts to nail passport fraudsters are undercut by a leaker from her own side.

“Foul Trouble” was just published in BETRAYAL, the seventeenth and newest issue of Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem.

BETRAYAL, Issue 17 OF MYSTERY, CRIME, AND MAYHEM

For this issue, nine writers took wildly different takes on the theme of betrayal. The result is great entertainment!

You can buy your copy of BETRAYAL directly from the publisher or follow the links she provides to your favorite online bookseller. Available in digital and print.

The spring issue of Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem – The Hunt is all about hunting someone or something, or being hunted.
