SMFS Members Published in Crimeucopia - Totally Psycho Logical

 

Today is publication day for Crimeucopia - Totally Psycho Logical. Published by Murderous Ink Press, the read is available at Amazon and other vendors. SMFS list members that reported being in the read are:

 

Daniel C. Bartlett with "How Easily Things Can Explode."

 

Wendy Harrison with "It's Nothing Personal."

 

Carol Goodman Kaufman with "Skin Deep."

 

Amazon Description:

Totally - adverb: completely; absolutely. Used to emphasize a clause or statement. "He/She is totally bat-shit crazy!"



Psycho - noun: an unstable and aggressive person. "Don't you know? My ex is a total psycho!"

adjective: exhibiting unstable and aggressive behaviour. "There's some kind of psycho nut job on the loose out there!"



Logical - adjective: characterized by or capable of clear, sound reasoning. "His/Her logical mind? Are you nuts or something?"



But are all psychos 'nut jobs'? Or, given the chance, could they show that their actions really are totally logical? At least, from their perspective that is.

All take you on journeys that might often put a skewer through any rational thought processes you think you might have.



And as always, 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 regular padded cell comfort zone - and puts you into a completely new one because, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto:

You never know what you like until you read it.
