DOWN & OUT

Picking up from where our last issue left off, we have another group of crime stories written especially for us. Starting with ex-police detective Lissa Marie Redmond whose short fiction has appeared in anthologies like Akashics Buffalo Noir and whose debut novel will be out in February 2018, we move along to novelist Andrew Welsh-Huggins, author of the Andy Hayes PI series. Then we have a chilling new tale by short story specialist Nick Kolakowsi, followed by this issues featured writer, Bill Crider, who takes us to Blacklin County, Texas, where he treats us to a new story starring everyones favorite sheriff, Dan Rhodes. Tim Lockharts debut novel came out earlier this year amidst a lot of buzz and hes here with a very dark tale indeed. Next we offer a taste of J.J. Hensleys fast-paced writing with an airborne story as we await the premiere of a new series early next year. Our trip to the past brings us to the legendary writer Carroll John Daly and his no-holds-barred character Race Williams, who never shot any man that didnt deserve it. We close out the issue with a story strong with irony by Ben Boulden. Throw in a terrific column by J. Kingston Pierce and youve got another issue of Down & Out
