Free Fiction Monday: Little Miracles
As a homicide detective, Frank deals with violent death every day. And his reaction to those deaths kills him by inches. Until his most recent case forces him to take a long, hard look at his emotional state. The murder scene’s only survivor might hold the clues Frank needs to solve the case. It might even hold the key to Frank’s very salvation.

Thanks for sharing this story. I was thinking I was going to have to wait until next month to read it as an ebook. I like how Frank is flawed and likable. I just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed the Short Story lecture series and am happy to read this to round out the experience.
Great story!
Thanks, Josephine. I’ll have to put on the website that “Little Miracles” is now available as an e-book, so people can see it to go with the lecture. Thanks for the kind words on the series!
I agree with Christine! What a powerful little story with characters I would love to see in a novel. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks, Will. 🙂
I really loved Frank’s voice and the story was a great balance/contrast between the horrific crime scene and his sweet, growing concern for Rip. While reading it, I kept thinking of this as a first chapter of a novel — and was left disappointed that there weren’t more crimes for Frank to solve. I would have loved to see Rip see him through more of the healing process.
Great story!
Thank you, Christine. 🙂
Wow, that’s a nice story. I love it! Crime isn’t my usual genre, but this is wonderful. Also, it has a cat, and I’m a sucker for cats. Thanks for letting us read this for free.
You’re welcome, Stephanie.
Thanks for posting this one, Kris! Now that I’ve enjoyed reading it, I’ll have to go back through to find those 25 try/fail sequences. 😉
Good luck. Remember, Dayle. Tiny. 🙂
