Today is the release date of Kwik Krimes, an anthology of 1,000-words or-less crime stories, edited by the esteemed Otto Penzler. And yes, yours truly has a story appearing in it, and let me tell you, I am psyched! To have a story chosen by Mr. Penzler (founder of Mysterious Press and editor extraordinaire) is an honor in and of itself. But to also be included among the likes of Joe R. Lansdale, Ed Gorman, Patricia Abbott, Chuck Caruso, Gregory Gibson, Christopher Fowler, William E. Chambers, Cindy Rosmus, and so many, many other wonderful writers is a dream come true.
For all of you who like to read while riding the bus or waiting in the doctor’s office; for those of you who like fast stories with a beginning, middle and end that you can digest in one sitting with your coffee; and for those of you who have the attention span of a squirrel, I highly recommend grabbing a copy of Kwik Krimes. The great thing about this anthology is that if you don’t like one story, it’s over in a flash and you’re free to try a different one in a mere matter of minutes.
So go grab a copy. Now.
