First Impressions: A Young Adult Mystery Short Story

Here comes yet another short story. This one is a Young Adult story, but that shouldn’t stop the not-so-young adults from reading it!

I wrote the story in September, when the kids went back to school. It’s possible that the teacher’s name is weirdly similar to my daughter’s teacher – but the similarities stops there!

Anyway…let me know what you think!

Being the new girl in school is never fun.

I’m used to it, though. Spotting potential new friends, identifying the cliques to avoid, figuring out the school’s layout… Been there, done that.

Being accused of murder before the first class even starts? That’s new.

Out of Sight: A Mystery Short Story

The next short story is out! Inspired by householding tasks, of all things…

Out of Sight

A Mystery Short Story

If Christine doesn’t leave the vacuum cleaner out after having vacuumed, her husband won’t realize she did the work.

If there’s no proof, he’ll be completely blind to any householding tasks she’s done.

Among other things.

New Mystery Short Story Available

As promised, I continue publishing last year’s short stories. This one is Mystery (like a majority of my stories) and it’s quite funny. At least it was fun to write!

I usually spend two or three weeks in Norway every summer, and most years we eat at least a meal or two of crabs. Seems like last year, this was a source of inspiration!

Some crimes are more interesting than others.

Some killers are more surprising than others.

Today’s murderer appears to be a crab.

Happy New Year and A New Story!

I know, I haven’t posted in over a year. But I’m still here, and still writing, I just didn’t have anything ready to publish.

2018 has been the year of short stories for me. I’ve finished a whole bunch of them, and you’ll be seeing them popping up over the next few months.

The very first one, a weird Science Fiction story with cats (of all things), is coming out tomorrow! It’s called The Vanguard and was written for an assignment in a writing class I took. It had to have aliens and it had to have pets – so, yes, this story has alien felines… I promise, it’s a great story, though!

Here’s the cover and the blurb. Let me know what you think.

Minou’s latest kill, a wonderfully delightful mouse, has gone missing.

The mouse-thief isn’t the cat next door, but someone far more unexpected—and dangerous.

Apparently, Minou had a job to do.
