I wrote “The People in the Neighborhood” a 5000-word gentle mystery/thriller short story, a couple of years ago specifically for an anthology of mysteries involving neighbors. It eventually was turned down for that one, but the editor took the time to tell me it was close but didn’t quite fit in with the other stories he’d accepted.

When I saw a call for another anthology of mystery stories involving neighbors, I thought of this story and submitted it. This time it was accepted.

Detectives, Sleuths, and Nosy Neighbors: Dying for an Answer should be available in ebook sometime in late spring from Inkd Publishing. I’ve already sent back the first round of edits on the story.

I believe there will be a Kickstarter for a print edition. Stay tuned for more info.
