SHOTS #22 is live

I am pleased to announce that the latest issue of SHOTS Magazine is now live. Mike Stotter promised it would be a mammoth issue, and boy, is it ever. In keeping with the theme of bigger and better, I selected five stories, familiar faces and newcomers alike:

Stephen D. Rogers’ “Raising the Bar” explains how a seemingly innocuous incident leads to the potential undoing of a mother/child relationship. Dave White’s “Down to the River” features a woman desperate to save her own skin that she sacrifices those closest to her. Gay Toltl Kinman, in “The Darkened House,” demonstrates why simple burglary can go horribly wrong, while Iain Rowan’s “Easy Job” demonstrates why such things don’t, in fact, exist at all. And J.E. Seymour’s debut story “Fish in the Trees” is a charming traditional mystery from the viewpoint of a female police chief in a small New England Town.

Aside from fiction, there are a plethora of great interviews of folks like Mark Billingham, Ken Bruen, Mo Hayder, and Simon Kernick, photo galleries, new reviews, and much, much more. God knows how we’ll top this…
