Writing at Hasting’s Hardback Café in Farmington, NM, late evening of October 16, 2015 (self-portrait)
My flash work of crime/thriller/horror “Murder by Plastic” appears today in www.fictionontheweb.co.uk. “Murder by Plastic” has previously appeared in Every Day Fiction in 2013. It is a work of taut suspense involving murder, gangsters, intrigue, and betrayal. “Murder by Plastic” has been called “chilling and brilliantly economical” and “very well-paced and intriguing”.
Many thanks to Charlie Fish and his staff for reprinting this, one of my favorite stories.
