Hurray! It started last October with a callout for submissions, which closed mid January. Since then, I’ve been hard at work, reading and selecting stories, formatting the manuscript for trade paperback and e-book, and working on the cover art. I should say that I sketch a concept, and then I have a fabulous concept artist, S.A. Hadi hasan, draw up the main graphic. From there it goes to my cover art guy, Hunter Martin, who makes it all look beautiful. I must also thank Victoria Gladwish, for her proofreading and editorial assistance.

About the book: Lovers and losers.
Whether it’s 1950s Hollywood, a scientific experiment, or a yard sale in suburbia, the twenty-two authors represented in this collection of mystery and suspense interpret the overarching theme of “heartbreaks and half-truths” in their own inimitable style, where only one thing is certain: Behind every broken heart lies a half-truth.
And behind every half-truth lies a secret.
