New short story online!

Bulletin:

I don't write many short stories, but I have one that's just been posted on Amazon Shorts. It's called "Walkaway," and it's about Buck Shelton, the main protagonist of my forthcoming supernatural thriller Missing White Girl.

Like the novel, "Walkaway" is based on events that really happen here in the Arizona's border region. In this case, it's about kids who are sent to a juvenile residential facility because they got in trouble at home, or trouble with the law, but who take off from that facility (the real-life version of which has a place in Elfrida). Since Buck runs the Elfrida sheriff's office in my fictional reality, it makes sense that he would have to deal with walkaways.

But the horror he finds when he looks into the problem is not, one hopes, what the real-life sheriff's officers have to contend with....

It's only 49¢, and I can't think of a better way to spend less than half a buck. I remember when you could buy an 80-page Giant for 50¢, but those days are long gone.
