As posted by David to our list:

It isn't mystery (it's romance) and it's a very different type of publication. That said, my story, "Cape Cod Chips and the Goggles Guy," kicked off the Valentine's Spectacular 2021 today.

(The Spectacular provides readers with a Valentine's Day story delivered to their inbox every day from February 7-14. A year from now, the stories will be collected into an e-book anthology with three more bonus stories.

If you want a taste of what the stories are like, I've posted mine on my website where you can read it for free for the next seven days.
