Well, with Killer due out in May and The Caretaker of Lorne Field out in August, as well as Outsourced out in the UK and other European countries this year (US next Feb.), it's also going to be the year of the novel for me. But I've got 29 stories so far this year that are going to be coming out in print, 21 of which will be in my collection, '21 Tales', three scheduled later this year for Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, 'Julius Katz' will be reprinted in Ed Gorman's and Martin Greenberg's best mystery stories of the year anthology, 'Hook or By Crook', a reprinted story in the first edition of Needle Magazine that has just been released, and 3 more new stories in assorted anthologies.
So what about '21 Tales'? These are 21 of my best short crime fiction stories (well, 20 anyways, one story is a lighthearted fantasy), each one with surprise endings and twists to leave the reader dizzy. New Pulp Press will be publishing a paperback version of it later this Fall (estimated date, Oct. 15th), but I've also added low-priced ($1.49) ebook versions today at the Amazon Kindle store and Smashwords
By 21 Tales now at the Amazon Kindle store.
By 21 Tales now at Smashwords.
Smashwords store supports just about every format that eReaders use, even Kindle.
If you like twisty, dark, hardboiled crime fiction, I think you'll like the stories in this collection.
I'd like to give a big thanks to Kenney Mencher for the brilliant cover art that he did for this, and of course, New Pulp Press for arranging it.

These are terrific stories, Dave. Some of them, dark as they are, had me laughing out loud.
Thanks, Naomi.
This looks awesome, Dave! I'll download the collection once I get off of work and then buy it when NPP brings it out in October.
Looks good!
Keith, Paul, thanks. Much appreciated.
