I had a story I’m especially proud of published in the 2022 Deathlehem anthology. I love this one, and if you’re a big weirdo who thinks spending an evening with some freaky chums who aren’t what they appear to be is your idea of a good time, Silent Scream is the story for you.

Length: Novelette (19900 words)
Heat Level: There's no sex, but someone naughty ends up in plenty of hot water.

"This gaff is bloody creepy enough,"
Detective Sergeant Isidoros Cam muttered as he strode through the front door of
Warszawski Taxidermy. With his battered fedora and rumpled trenchcoat, the
basset-faced DS looked like a cross between Columbo and Dick Tracy.
"Looks like the place has been abandoned for decades,"
twenty-four-year-old Detective Constable Breandán Gracia Zelenka noted.
"Not quite, Fresh Meat," Auer countered with a
knowing grin. "The truck is a newer model, not more than five years old. I'll
bet you five quid that there's current mail, though the occupant may not have
opened it for a spell."
Lieutenant Theresa Landvik, a seasoned American ex-pat who
had been with the Crouch End division of Scotland Yard for 34 years, was a small,
wiry woman in her early sixties who looked like she might blow away in a strong
wind, but her co-workers knew that she was far tougher than she appeared. She
turned her piercing violet-blue gaze on her subordinates.

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I have ADHD and anxiety and sometimes I need to work myself up to be able to respond to comments. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops. I share your work on the monthly Roost Recommendations posts at ornerybookemporium.blogspot.com so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
