"In Plain Sight" will
appear in the November 2013 issue of Alfred Hitchock's Mystery

the grid to hide among the Plain Folk. She finds bounty hunter Tommy
O'Brien in Pinecraft, chasing the same mini-Madoff. He's bright and
he's good - pooling their resources might lead to quicker capture. But

| Recently
released: “Heart
Failure,” a short story offering a clue as to why I titled
a novel Night on Fire. Steve’s
only 15 when his favorite lead singer dies. That loss makes him fear
another. Older brother Tom is in the army, deployed to a war zone an
ocean away. In only sixty days, This short
story remembers the death of the Doors’ Jim Morrison in 1971, but
the aching fear for a loved one fighting on foreign soil is
timeless. This
is the uncut original “Heart Failure.” An abridged version
was included in Danish textbook publisher Alinea’s
online project about The 27 Club. They recorded me reading the
condensed version aloud for their students. I can't offer the audio
for sale, but you can get ALL the words in print. |
