SMFS Members Published in Crimeucopia: We'll Be Right Back - After This!


Several SMFS list members are published in Crimeucopia: We'll Be Right Back - After This!. Published by Murderous Ink Press, the read is available in digital and print formats at Amazon and other vendors. SMFS list members in the read are: 

 

Glen Bush with “Cold Eyes, Cold Blood.”

 

Eve Fisher with "Cruel as the Grave."

 

Jim Guigli with “Blood on the Stairs.”

 

Edward Lodi with “Under the Table.”

 

Cate Moyle with “A Jeweled Anniversary.”

 

Michele Bazan Reed with “The Devil’s Accountant.”

 

Amazon Description:

With fiction from Jim Guigli, Glen Bush, Edward Lodi, Cate Moyle, Jay Andrew Connor, Bob Ritchie, Michele Bazan Reed, Eve Fisher, Michael Wiley, Joan Hall Hovey, J. T. Seate and Madeleine McDonald. 

This is the first of several ‘Free 4 All’ collections that were supposed to be themeless. However, with the number of submissions that came in, it seems that this could be called an Angels & Devils collection, mixing PI & Police alongside tales from the bad guys. Mind you, that’s not to say that all the PIs & Police are Good Guys – though hopefully this collection is not too NOIR for some.

Followers of the somewhat bent and twisted Crimeucopia path will know that although we don’t deal with flash fiction as a rule, it is a rule that we have sometimes broken. And let’s face it, if you cannot break your own rules now and again, whose rules can you break?

Oh, wait, isn’t that the basis of the crime fiction genre?

Oh dear….

As with all of these anthologies, we hope you’ll find something that you immediately like, as well as something that takes you out of your comfort zone – and puts you into a completely new one.

In other words, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto:

You never know what you like until you read it.
