Busted! Arresting Tales from the Beat

My short story, The Drive-by, originally published in the Anthology Busted: Arresting Stories from the Beat (Level Best Books 2017) is a finalist in the published short story genre category of the 2018 Royal Palm Literary Awards (RPLA) competition.

Awards are announced at the Florida Writer's Association Banquet at the FWA Conference in Altamonte Springs on October 20th. 

I'm very pleased my story placed, as my novel, The Saffron Crocus, won best YA Historical in 2015.

I'm starting 2017 with a snoopy dance!

Two of my short mystery stories will appear in anthologies this spring. The first is "The Drive-by" in Busted! Arresting Stories From the Beat by Level Best Books on April 25, 2017. Check out the list of writers: I'm in very good company!

The second is "The New Score" in Fish Out of Water,  the latest Guppy Anthology put together by Sisters in Crime, edited by Ramona Defelice Long and published by Wildside Press. Due sometime this spring.
