The Booty Call Caper



My story The Booty Call Caper has been accepted by Alessia Brio for the Coming Together: Against the Odds anthology.

Against the Odds is the latest in a line of charity fund raiser anthologies that Alessia edits. This time the theme was mysteries. While it's difficult to write a short mystery story, it can be done. I look forward to seeing what the other contributors came up with.

The Booty Call Caper features my sort-of-detectives Georgie (don't call her Georgeanne) and Jack from my short story, Georgie Cracks the Case (Torquere Press). Georgie makes a booty call to Jack, which he gladly answers, but before they can get down to business, she mentions something odd she noticed at work. Jack has to check it out before he'll put out. Frustrated, Georgie agrees to take him to the scene of the crime - even though she's not sure there was a crime.

These two are so fun to write. Exhausting, but fun. Georgie and Jack somehow manage to solve cases even though they're both more interested in witty banter, dry martinis, and steamy sex.
