Fifteen distinctly different tales of mystery and suspense, presenting a taste of the various sub-genres, including cozy, hard boiled, police procedural, romantic suspense, historical, and psychological thriller. These original stories are all set in Arizona, and the contributing authors are all members of the Arizona writing community.
My short story, "Ephemera," is part of this collection.
