Ice / Joe's Last Scratch


Two of my Frank Swiver private eye tales, "Ice / Joe's Last Scratch" are now available as a "twofer" in the Kindle Store on Amazon for readers to purchase at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OSS2QVG
"Ice" originally appeared as Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine's Black Mask feature in Sept./Oct. 2012. EQMM doesn't archive stories online, so this is the first time since then that the story will be available. 
"Joe's Last Scratch" follows the same characters shortly after the events in "Ice." (One of the joys of writing about a "series" detective is using and re-using characters.) "Joe's" is previously unpublished. I think of the two as pulp fiction. I also categorize them more as noir than hard-boiled. I hope you'll enjoy them.  

Please help my marketing effort by posting a review on Amazon, or share the link to the book on your favorite social media.
