My short story, Unstrung Quartet, is among those chosen for inclusion in Snowbound, Level Best Books 2017 best New England crime stories anthology. I'm tickled pink to be in such esteemed company. Snowbound will be released at New England Crime Bake, which takes place November 10th – 12th in Boston, Massachusetts. (Yes, I live in San Francisco, but I was raised in Connecticut, and Unstrung Quartet is set in Massachusetts.)

I'd love to go, but Boston is 3000 miles from home. If I can concoct another reason to go back East, maybe... Still thinking.
