Why? A Collection of Mysterious Tales

Published by Zimbell House Publishing

The back cover of this anthology states, “In Why? A Collection of Mysterious Tales, we hope to answer two questions: Who Did It? and Why? With fifteen short stories by twelve emerging writers, our sleuths uncover a plethora of reasons for murder with suspicious characters throughout.”

In “Prince of Blood – 1603,” Dominic Fresco plans to don the scarlet wool cassock trimmed in matching silk, marking him a Cardinal of the Catholic Church, but life takes a dramatic curve when he meets Valenzia, a woman with long, black hair and piercing brown eyes, at the Beatro’s Cellar.

2113:  An Oral History of the Last God

Published by Subtopian Press

Trevor D. Richardson, founder of the Subtopian Press, commented, ” With little to go on and almost no prompt, twenty-five authors teamed up anonymously to offer their concepts of future history and how society fell. As themes began to show through, a story took shape entirely on its own and it became this book. This is not an anthology or a collection, it is a novel with more than two dozen authors, a cohesive narrative about the people, places, and strife that led to the fall of the world as we know it.”

“The Takeover -2071” is a chapter excerpt from the first book in my trilogy AFTER SHOCKS. The oppressive government, the National Association of Patrolling Officers, on the island of Domicile enacts a new ruling called the Anti-Conception Law in an effort to curtail population growth. Adhara takes her blind, thirteen-year-old daughter to the hospital to have the procedure only to learn some shocking news!

Unholy Secrets provides a dark, twist that will boggle even the more experienced sleuths. Unholy Secrets looks at good versus evil:  no one is exempt from falling off a pedestal of grace into sin’s darkness.

A self-inflicted abortion. . .an illicit love affair. . .a baby racketeering scheme. . .murder

Unholy Secrets is a noir mystery which is similar in style to Irish writer Benjamin Black’s Christine Falls along with the noir tone of Tess Gerritsen’s The Sinner.

A missing child’s body is found in a marshy bog on Cape Peril, Maine in 1952. Private investigator Dana Greer, who is running from a failed marriage as well as a cold case in Bangor, is intent on finding the murderer. One of a few female detectives in the country, she is up against a male-dominated profession, where she is continually forced to prove her competency. A series of long-kept secrets, ranging from a mayor’s daughter who has aborted her child, a love affair between a newly professed nun and a married man, and an illicit baby marketing scheme run by a prominent Catholic family, serve to complicate the case.
