Was That So Hard?

 

Last year was the first in many in which I failed to score a story in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, my favorite publication.  I am happy to say the drought ended with "Was That So Hard" in the Sept/Oct issue.

The Grudge

 My story "The Grdge" appeared in this week's Black Cat Weekly, #251.

 Someone on the Short Mystery Fiction Society asked members if any of their stories had ever been used for magazine covers. I have been lucky enough to experience that 7 times.  Here they are.

A Bad Day for Good Samaritans

 Black Cat Weekly Issue #243 was published today.  It includes my fourth "Bad Day" story.

 

The Little Death is one of the Best

 My story "The Little Death," which appeared in Celluloid Crimes has been chosen by Michael Bracken and S.J. Rozan for inclusion in Best Private Eye Stories of 2026.  Ain't that cool!

The Cop Who Liked Gilbert and Sullivan reprinted

 Today is the thirtieth birthday of the Short Mystery Fiction Society and to celebrate it Josh Pachter has edited and Level Short published HOT SHOTS, featuring one Derringer Award winner from each year.  I am delighted that one of my three winners made it in: "The Cop Who Liked Gilbert and Sullivan."
