I didn’t get round to reading this until today. I loved it. I wanted more.
There are two others, Substitutions and Trains. I probably should put that in the intro. Forgot. 🙂
I recently discovered your work through Five Female Sleuths on my Kindle. I love your writing and am looking forward to reading more.
Do you have an archive for more Monday short stories, or have any more short story collections outside of Five Female Sleuths? I’ve already bought What Fluffy Knew and The Secret Lives of Cats.
Thanks!
I do have several collections, Beverly. Check out Secrets and Lies (there are some crossover stories to the one you read), Stories for an Enchanted Afternoon, Recovering Apollo 8 and Other Stories, as well as a series of Five (something or other). Those you can look up by typing in “Five” and my full name, and then seeing what’s there. Read the descriptions so you don’t miss them.
I don’t archive Free Fiction Stories. They’re up for one week and gone. But they do get loaded onto the various sites at the same time.
Thanks for the kind words!
Ah, Silas! So tickled to see him again – I really like this guy. Besides this and “Substitutes” does he show up in any other short stories?
Oh, yes. He first appeared in “Trains.” I have more plans for him, but I haven’t gotten to them yet. 🙂
