NOIR
What’s a noir anthology?
It could be crime.
It could be the kind of story that would look perfect filmed in black and white.
It could be sexy.
It could be rough.
Someone’s going to die in this book.
Someone’s going to rip-off some old broads too.
That romance is doomed from the start.
I wouldn’t take that train if I were you.
The cops are dirty, and they’re out to take everyone down.
But who is really gonna take the fall?
Who’s gonna take that last, long, lonely walk?
Hard-Boiled and Loaded with Sin… CLICK HERE for the full book on Kindle Vella to read now on your phone for pennies a story.
Coming to paperback and eReaders in June.
Summer is hot, and so is the dark of night.
It’s the perfect time for noir.
WHAT IF A HOUSECLEANER IN REAL LIFE WROTE A MYSTERY ABOUT A HOUSECLEANER SOLVING CRIMES?

Amy is reaching for her dream.
Have you ever wanted to quit your day job and be a writer?

THE NEW HAWK
As we move further into 2023, we realized it was time to redo the Hawkshaw Press site (home of our crime fiction novels and collections). The site has gotten a fresh makeover, and we’ll be updating Gravelight and Out of This World soon as well.
Meanwhile, please drop by Hawkshaw Press and meander a while, Flatfoot.
