Dog Days of Summer… The Sequel
It dipped, it wavered, but here in the wilds of Northern Yurp, summer is back. Sunshine and thirty Grad next week. That’s eighty-six f. for you folks on the other side of the pond. But September means the editors are crawling back from their summer bacchanalia, staring at their desks with bleary eyes and empty souls. So many stories in the slush pile, some of them mine. Will those plucky stories be accepted? Rejected? Tune into the MEF blog for all the latest:

Since summer is hanging around, that means summer reading is still a thing. Need a book for the beach, the patio, the fire pit? Look no further, My Bodacious Readers! How about a great international thriller? Breaking the Bundles awaits you:
Breaking the Bundles
The Past Can Kill.
Vienna, Austria, a city of palaces, music, and cafés. But behind the cold, grey stone lies a dark secret. Against this backdrop of culture and shadows, the fates of three unforgettable people will be drawn into a common peril. As the lives of the characters cross, revenge shifts to passion, betrayal becomes an act of honor, and the past exacts a heavy toll from the present. The secrets of the past threaten the lives of those that hold them; the same secrets threaten the men who work in the shadows. The weight of the past will pursue Perry and Zita across two continents, threatening their love and their lives. The chase becomes a conflict of revenge and desire, of shadow and light, of love and the struggle to survive.
