Multiple SMFS list members appear in the new anthology, The Perp Wore Pumpkin: A Humorous Crime Anthology To Benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. Published by Misti Media, and edited by SMFS list member Jay Hartman, the anthology is available in both print and eBook format from the publisher, Amazon, and other vendors. The SMFS members in the book are:

Publisher Description:

A bad meal is a misdemeanor but going to bed hungry is the biggest crime of all.

Ten short story authors have joined forces to write humorous crime stories containing some of their favorite Thanksgiving dishes. From murder to theft to bank heists, these authors have whipped up stories to tickle your funny bone, feed your urge for a good crime and make you a bit hungry in the process. Not to be outdone, Lisa Lynn provides the perfect accompaniment with recipes that people can make for the holidays using the basic staples found in nearly every home or from your local food bank.

Thanks to the publisher’s “Misti Gives Back” program, 100% of the net proceeds of the sales of this title will be split evenly among each of the contributors’ local Second Harvest Food Bank (a member of Feeding America) to help raise money to feed those most in need and at risk. If a contributor does not have a Second Harvest in their area, their share will go directly to Feeding America. Your purchase(s) ensure that more people will have access to food this holiday season and beyond.

Please visit Feeding America to learn more about food insecurity and how you can help in your local area.

A Short Walk Down A Dark Street: Issue 27

As posted by Peter DiChellis to our list…

This week’s blog gulps too much wine at Thanksgiving dinner and pounds the table for short mystery and crime fiction: links to reviews, releases, free stories, and more.
Includes a research list that brainstorms 34 detailed motives for murder (“too slow passing me the sweet potatoes” not among them).
A short walk down a dark street (#27)
Best wishes,
