No, I’m not talking about a particular Texas death, but the upcoming anthology from FInal Twist, my local chapter of Sisters in Crime. It will be out in the fall, and it will contain my first published short story – yay, me! titled Feels Like Home. There’s lots of other great stories from my sister writers as well. Here’s the cover – love those Texas bluebonnets! My story is set in my hometown, Comanche, Texas, and to my kinfolks and the citizens of Comanche past and present, I want to say “hey y’all, the crime and the characters are all products of my imagination, or based just a tiny little bit on real events twisted around into complete fiction, so don’t be thinking I’m writing about real people. The wonderful town is real, of course, and all the good things I say about it are true.

Congradulations! I can wait to read it and maybe even catalog it for HCPL.
It’s fun to write fictional stuff about the people you know. I tell them “hey I made you look better than what you actually do.” I will look for the book. I love Nancy and Tony too. I must say they are wonderful people.
Hey, Shirley! Can’t wait to be on the shelf with you in the anthology! Looking forward to your short story. 🙂
hugs,
Pauline
Shirley –
Great site and great blog! Thanks for mentioning the anthology. See you at the release party – Katy Budget Books, Oct. 10. I’ll be the one hiding in the back so I can finally read all the stories.

I am thrilled to be in the company of such a lovely and talented
and award-winning author as yourself! You are an inspiration – if only you could give me some of your energy 🙂
