One, Two, Three … Push

About 15 years ago I wrote a story about professional wrestling called "Push Comes to Shove." It was published in an anthology from the Los Angeles Sisters in Crime chapter. Somehow it came to the notice of those who put together the Best American Mystery Stories series. Somehow it was chosen for inclusion. Yay, me!

Last December I ran into author (and longtime LAPD officer) Paul Bishop, who it turned out was running a new venture called Fight Card. It features novella-length fiction, mostly stories about boxing, but about to branch into MMA and luchadores. I got the brilliant idea of expanding "Push Comes to Shove" from 4,000 to roughly 25,000 words. Paul said okay.

Now my brilliant idea has come to fruition. "Push" will come out August 8. Initially as an Amazon e-book, credited to Jack Tunney, as are all Fight Card tales. There’ll be a paper version before too long, and that’ll have my name on it.

More when it’s out …
