With an introduction by iconic gay mystery author Michael Nava, and including eleven top-notch short stories from some of the best writers in the genre, ‘Cupid Shot Me: Valentine Tales of Love, Mystery & Suspense’ will keep you on the edge of your seat with each journey into love and homicide. NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON and at select locations listed below.
Among these fabulous fatal features is my brand new short story, ‘Paper Hearts: A Marshall James Thriller.‘ It’s now or never, as Marshall decides to search for the love of his life thirty years after he’d been told they were finished forever. Mac McElroy was an LAPD homicide detective back when Marshall lived in Hollywood and trouble came calling for him once, twice, three times over. The third time was not the charm: it nearly got Marshall killed, and it put their love on ice for the next three decades. Will he find Mac? Is Mac even still alive? And exactly what happened that Valentine’s Day, 1992, when it all came crashing down? Find out in ‘Paper Hearts.’
From the Introduction by Michael Nava, celebrated author of the Henry Rios mysteries:
The stories in Cupid Shot Me fall somewhere between the classic Richard Rodgers tune “My Funny Valentine” and the gangland Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. You’ll find bushels of red roses but some may be lethal, and watch what you eat at that romantic dinner because that exquisite morsel on your fork may be poisoned. You’ll definitely want the bomb squad to inspect that enormous box of chocolates before you open it.
Here’s who you’ll find under the covers of this book:
Gregory Ashe – “Responsible Adults”
J.B. Sanders – “Glen & Tyler Skip Dessert”
Neil Plakcy – “Cabbage Key”
Mark Zubro – “Roses Are Dead”
Mark McNease – “Paper Hearts: A Marshall James Thriller”
