As part of the worldwide crime fiction writing and reading community’s tribute to Maxine Clarke an anthology of short stories has been published in eBook format.

The stories all have a focus on crime in the writing, editing, reviewing and blogging world: a fitting environment for a tribute to Maxine whose non-crime reading life included a long career in science publishing. Stories include the murder of an editor of a true crime magazine, a life-or-death short story competition and a killer literary festival in the North of England.

In addition to providing a bunch of short & sharp criminal stories, proceeds from the collection’s sale go to the Princess Alice Hospice so you shouldn’t need any more incentive to grab a copy Amazon (print version due early next year).

Margot Kinberg of Confessions of a Mystery Novelist fame is to be congratulated for pulling together this collection.
