Train Tracks on a shirt

 When my story "Train Tracks" appeared in the cover of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine my sister Joann Lopresti Churchill had this shirt made for me.  I never thought to put it up on this page, but I have a reason to do it now (as some readers may know...).

Shanks on the Prowl in Audio

 

Back in the early days of podcasting, there was a wonderful institution called Crime City Central.  In Episode #95 they did a reading of my story "Shanks on Crime."  I recently got in touch with the host, Jack Calverley, and he was able to find the recording.  With much gratitude I am able to make it available here for your listening pleasure. If you want to read it, of course, it's in the book.
