Montana Noir
Montana Noir by James GradyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved being a part of this anthology and am grateful to author Jim Grady for including me in this project set in our home state. I enjoyed each writer's take on place. Writing a mystery is one of my goals and penning this short story has brought me closer.
