New historical short story published--free to read!

I'm happy to announce that my short story, "The Interview," is now available in the online mystery magazine, Over my Dead Body. It's a free read, too!

http://www.overmydeadbody.com/theinter.html

This is one of those historical stories that is personal to me because of the location. Make sure you read the Author's Note at the end, too.

There are also eight other free stories there in the new issue.

Thanks for your support!

Great Review of HALLOWEEN THIRTEEN--A Macabre Collection

Kings River Life magazine has reviews of five e-books in honor of Earth Day, including my first collection of short stories/poetry, HALLOWEEN THIRTEEN--A Collection of Mysteriously Macabre Tales.

I love getting reviews by librarian Cynthia Chow because she "gets" me and my writing--twisted, black humor, offbeat and sentimental. Umm, yep, that's me! LOL

There are also reviews of books by Janis Patterson, Kathy Bennett, K.K. Chalmers and Andrew MacRae.

A Word to my Lovely Readers

As an author, I appreciate every single one of my readers. Indie book authors are responsible for all their own marketing, promotion, book production, etc. in addition to the writing. The publishing world has changed since I started writing back in the early '80s. Reader reviews are more important than ever.

So next time you finish a story or book you love, please consider sharing it on Facebook or Twitter or leaving a review on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N or the other retail sites. Authors really appreciate that, and it makes it possible for us to offer the occasional free and lower-priced book. Thank you so much! bobbi c.
