M. Lee Buompensiero’s new series, Spirit Club Mysteries, debuted July 1 with the publication of Book 1: Something Wicked. In this mystery, Sophie Lawton sees dead people—and talks to them and solves crimes with their help. Her first case: finding Melissa Starkey, a college co-ed who has gone missing. Sophie joins forces with a spirit-secretary and her dead ex-husband, a disgraced police investigator, to solve Melissa’s disappearance before a deranged serial killer makes the girl his next trophy kill. Something Wicked is available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible versions on Amazon.com |
Jane Muschenetz, with her poem, "Every Poem is Political," has been named the first-place winner of the inaugural War Poetry Postcard Project. The purpose of this literary arts experiment is to promote empathy and conversation on the effects of war and violence. The Middle West Press and Collateral Journal co-sponsored the contest. Organizers and editors called for new and reprint postcard-sized poems that thematically engaged with the effects of armed conflict, state violence, and military service. |
