"I absolutely love Mary Shelley! She's got such a fresh voice and comes across as a real person in a very few words. And Vic and Bittenbinder will make splendid ongoing characters in a series." --Marcia Muller



NEWS:

The three Mary Shelley short stories (previously published, details below) were collected, along with other stories by Deborah Morgan, in JUNCTION. The collection is available in both e-book and print versions.


   
The Mary Shelley stories and their original publication info:

"The Windsor Ballet"
Flesh and Blood: Guilty as Sin . Mysterious Press . 2003

{ Publisher's Weekly called The Windsor Ballet "exceptional" }

"Beaubien"
Mystery Street . Signet . 2001

"Freight"
Lethal Ladies II . Berkley . 1998

"Freight brings a fresh new voice to the genre, and a fine new female P.I. in Mary Shelley. Hopefully, this is only the first of many of Ms. Shelley's cases to see print." --ed.

THE OPENING:

Know your gun.
         It can make the difference when the smoke clears, or the sun rises, or you're helping someone back through the door that separates humanity from the demons of the dark.
         Mine's the latest Smith & Wesson Air Lite -- a .22LR snub nose revolver with eight chambers on an aluminum alloy  J-frame. It weighs less than a  pound, loaded.
         I didn't know all this a week ago. Now, ask me anything.

 

{ A Sampler of Mary Shelley one-liners }

  The diner smelled like meatloaf, and I knew the rest of the day would be Wednesday.
  Rain is not on the list of preferred weekend beverages.
  I've got voice mail, e-mail, and the occasional blackmail.
