I’m not sure when I first met Debra Goldstein — it might have been at Malice Domestic in 2016 — but I do remember having coffee with her at Bouchercon Toronto in 2017. In addition to be a really fine writer and interesting person, Debra is also a Judge (like a real one!). She’s also one of the authors that share the Stiletto Gang blog page. Debra has recently released a collection of short stories, and it’s my pleasure to tell you more about it, and Debra.
Title: With Our Bellies Full and the Fire Dying: Tales of Sinning and Redemption
About the book: With Our Bellies Full and the Fire Dying is a collection of eighteen short stories, ranging from cozy to dark, centering around family and friends, their sins, and their sometimes redemption. Most of the stories have won prizes or been finalists for the Agatha, Anthony, and Derringer awards.
