Friend and fellow
mystery writer Margot
Kinberg has put together a crime fiction anthology: In
a Word--Murder. The ebook retails
for $2.99 and proceeds from its sales benefit Princess
Alice Hospice, in memory of Maxine Clarke, a supporter of and good friend

my stories is in the collection, too...my first attempt at short fiction.
