Free Fiction Monday: Trick or Treat
The teenage girl wrapped in a sheet calls herself Casper (as in “The Friendly Ghost”). But Secret Master of Fandom and private detective Spade doesn’t find her friendly—or ghost-like.

Because Paladin doesn’t ask favors; she solves crimes. And apparently, she—and Casper—need help only Spade can provide.
“Trick or Treat,” by New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch, is free on this website for one week only.

It is an interview with me also about conventions. This one […]
