Thanks, Jay. I do like to explore darker themes in my short stories!
Yay! I have several issues of Malice Domestic short story collections, but I didn't have 12, 13 or 14. I found copies online and just ordered them, as well as Fish Nets, the Guppy Anthology.
Edith, this is from your website: "“The Stonecutter,” possibly Edith’s favorite piece of short fiction, is a murder story of middle-aged romance gone wrong in an increasingly dark New England fall. The story first appeared in Fish Nets: the Second Guppy Anthology, an anthology of crime stories (Wildside Press, April, 2013)."
What was it about "The Stonecutter" that made it a favorite of yours?
Those books won't arrive for a couple weeks, but I'll check back in to this thread after I get a chance to read them. Meanwhile, I've been going through bins and boxes in the garage to see if I could find any old Ellery Queen mystery magazines. I didn't find those, but I did find an issue of Mystery Scene from 2013.
Edith, I'm looking forward to reading your stories as soon as I get my hands on them!
