Celebrate International Short Story Month with the Short Mystery Fiction Society! Each day in May, you can read a mystery story by one of our members online. A new link will appear daily on our blog.

May Day’s story is “Family Man” by award-winning novelist and Derringer finalist Patricia Dusenbury. My contribution, “Texas Two-Step”, appears on May 3rd.

Enjoy a story every day on us!

Kings River Life

An inmate speaks!

Inmate Winnie Yates speaks in “Mercy Find Me”, telling us in her own words about a hearing that happens off-stage in the legal thriller Help Me Nora. Winnie’s been in prison for more than fifteen years. She has one chance to convince her listeners to set her free today.

You’ll find Winnie’s story in Fiction River: Justice, an anthology of wonderful tales by many of my favorite writers.
