    2023 Good Cheer StoryBundle!

    All Short Stories This Year! And a lot of them. We figured we all might now have time to read holiday novels, but always time here and there for a holiday short story or two. Here is Kris explaining the project and the books of stories included. This is a really fun one, folks! —– The 2023 Good Cheer Bundle – Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch The holiday season goes by so very fast.

    Past Crimes

    A Fantastic Storybundle… One week ago today a Storybundle at Storybundle.com/crime launched called Past Crimes. Now, I love crime stories, have published many over the decades, and I have a top-selling series of twisted mystery series with my Cold Poker Gang stories and novels, one of which is in this bundle. And I have had the luck of being able to curate a number of Storybundles. And I personally think this is the best one I have ever done, and also the best one I have been lucky enough to have a book in. And I sure don’t say that lightly. Being in the company of mystery writers like Lawrence…

When the question of who done it or why in the normal crime stories doesn’t get answered in any satisfying way, the crime becomes a cold case. And the passing of time makes it harder and harder to solve that dormant case. Cold cases are my personal favorite past…
