Vampire Slayer Murdered in Key West
This past weekend, right in time for Halloween, my collection of short stories – Vampire Slayer Murdered in Key West – went on sale on Amazon as a trade paperback ($10) and as a Kindle eBook. I presented the stories in the order they were written and at the end put a short footnote about how the story came about or something else that I thought the reader might enjoy.
The lead story, Finding Picasso, is the first Mick Murphy story that eventually ended up leading me to write the series. You can see in the stories how Mick Murphy’s character developed.
I find it more difficult to write a short story than a novel. Each story needs to be precise, no wasted words, or adding characters for fun. In a novel, I can take time to develop characters and play with the plot line.
I cannot write songs because of how precise the good ones are. Short stories I keep my hand in, but only between novels to keep my writing schedule on schedule. It’s easy to stop a daily routine, hard has hell to get back to it!
If you like my Mick Murphy series, you might enjoy this book and learn a little about Mick’s past and development.
