Guest blogging

I landed a guest slot on mystery writer B.K. (Bonnie) Stevens’ blog The First Two Pages.

For those not familiar with Bonnie’s innovative blog concept, mystery writers divulge what the heck they were thinking when they crafted the opening paragraphs or pages of their story or novel. (In my case, my supernatural mystery tale “Most Evil” from the new anthology Busted! Arresting Stories from the Beat (Level Best Books).

As you can imagine, The First Two Pages is a treasure trove of cool stuff from many different writers, so I hope you get a chance to drop by and check out the entries archived there.

I have a guest post about humor in mysteries (“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Murder”) at the Short Mystery Fiction Society blog.

I snagged another guest post slot on the Short Mystery Fiction Society blog. The post is a send-up of those old school ransom notes that are composed by cutting up magazines.

The guest post ties into my new story at Switchblade: Issue Four, a dark flash piece that starts with a ransom note and ends with a double twist and a tragedy.
