A big congratulations to IWSG and the contributing authors!
###
We’re all very excited about the upcoming release of
the Insecure
Writer’s Support Group anthology. When we answered the
call for the mystery / crime / thriller genre submissions, the stipulation was
that the story had to revolve around a clock, or be time sensitive or something
related to a time theme.
What
is time? According to Wikipedia, “Time is the indefinite
continued progression of existence and events that occur in apparently
irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.”
In the Tick
Tock: A Stitch in Crime anthology, we have this definition covered at all
different angles.
Check it out!
A
Stitch in Crime. A play on the old saying, a stitch in
time saves nine. Meaning that taking care of a small problem now, saves a lot
of work later. In this story, forging a link between this world and the next
saves an eternity of separation.
Three
O’clock Execution. A man is convicted of murdering his
wife—is there enough time to clear him if he’s innocent? A wrong result is
irreversible.
Until
Release. The time theme at its best. Seven characters with different
points of view converge until they meet at a certain point in time.
Cypress,
Like the Tree. The Cypress tree is symbolic of
immortality. Immortality and time go hand in hand.
Center
Lane.
What do you do when you know you only have 48 minutes left?
The
Tide Waits. Time and tide wait for no man is a
saying that predates modern English. The premise fits this story perfectly.
Even the rich and powerful have to answer to the tides.
Heartless.
With
countless girls already dead, the race is on to find the next victim before
it’s too late. A classic mystery/time theme.
One
More Minute. About the extra time you need when you
can’t say goodbye. The minute we all wish we had.
Reset.
A
wrong needs to be righted. Don’t we all wish we could travel back in time to
change something?
The
Little Girl in the Bayou. History is about to repeat itself
unless a girl can be reached in time.
Gussy
Saint and the Case of the Missing Co-ed. Gumshoe at its
best…but can the hard-boiled detective account for his time when he becomes a
suspect?
We hope you enjoy our stories. There is a variety to
choose from in nearly any mystery/crime/thriller sub-genre. It’s on pre-sale
now at all major venues and will be released on May 1st by Dancing Lemur Press.
Tick Tock: A Stitch in
Crime
Can a
dead child’s cross-stitch pendant find a missing nun?
Is revenge possible in
just 48 minutes?
Can a killer be stopped before the rescuers are engulfed by a
city ablaze?
Who killed what the tide brought in?

stay out of jail?
