Blacked Out
"What Happen" Thought A.J as he awoke in his front yard. The last thing he remembered was leaving school and then nothing until now. A.J stood up and turned towards his house, But something wasnt right. He headed to the front door and noticed dark red almost brownish splotches all over the ground and door, which was slightly left open. He slowly pushed the door opened and saw he was also covered in red it stained everything and smelled like pennies.

Five Fabulous Fictional Female Sleuths
Since Edgar Allan Poe kicked off the genre in 1841 with "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", mystery stories have featured, for the most part, male detectives from the Golden Age to the pulp fiction of the 30's and 40's all the way to the present day.

The Shifting City - Chapter One
The week started badly when the Head of Poetry was found dead. It was of course always a cause for concern when an elected official died. There would be a mad scramble to elect his successor, and although he might only have been the head of a Fiction District there would still be fierce competition for the post. There would be questions of procedure in the event of needing to reassign the district to another section of the city, and a public funeral would need to be arranged. But more concerning than the death was the manner in which it had happened.

Clever as the Devil: Kimber Cassidy Mysteries #1 - Chapter 1
The Anniversary (press play on the video and keep reading) Music was drifting through the air from a relic jukebox, which was blissfully unaware that there was such a thing as Spotify. I watched the red neon light flash out the window, a beacon for the light foot traffic passing by the bar. On the inside, the ambiance was more dim and subdued, although I thought the word ‘ambiance’ was pushing it for this place.

The Dark Night Rider
Sounds of dark, sinister notes filled the studio room. A song her fingertips have played one too many times. A glass of red wine almost finished, resting on top of the piano. With a perfectly round rim of residue sitting beneath. Her eyes frown as she plays. As if she had been told some concerning news, or was playing in front of her parents; who were narcissistic and always dismissed her. Suddenly, the music stops. Like a foreigner walking into a bar in a new town. Her face glances up as she takes a deep breath and swigs the remaining wine left in her glass.
