My short story set in the Song Dynasty, China, "On the Road to Hongzhou" has been accepted for Level Best Books' upcoming anthology CRIME BEFORE OUR TIME

My short story was accepted by Level Best Books for their upcoming anthology CRIME BEFORE OUT TIME, expected September 2026. This story was fun to write and I'm glad it found a home. I might even consider revisiting the characters. #DesertSleuths #WritingCommunity #Authorsky #Amwriting

We had a great time at the Desert Foothills Book Festival today. Beautiful weather. Fun company. Plus the magic of connecting readers with some wonderful mystery stories.
