BIG NEWS - 1st Harry short story published in the US - "Switchblade" magazine Special Edition!

I am pumped this morning here in Sydney!  The day has started with Switchblade magazine publishing its first ever Special Edition, and it contains my first ever short story.
​
This is more of my PI Harry Kenmare, but written in the first person, so a different approach.  I'd often wondered about writing in the first person (Chandler, Macdonald, and many other hard-boiled crime writers do it), so I thought a short story was the ideal way to experiment.  My Harry novels will stay in the third person, just because I find the multiple points of view give a lot of flexibility with the characters.  But I think you'll love my foray into the short story world.  And I'm working on more.
​
This short story is titled "Little Rich Street Girl".  It's only available in Switchblade, so you'll need to grab a copy on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/dp/0998765031/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1508276249&sr=1-4&keywords=switchblade+issue

But I'll give you a taster with the opening lines:
 
"Coagulating semen clung to the lock of grubby blonde hair dangling down her cheek. Obviously not all of a previous load had gone down her throat. I guessed she wasn’t concerned about the finer points of her appearance." 

Not only am I thrilled to be published in Switchblade, but I'm equally thrilled by the company I find myself in.  I've read some of these authors before, and they produce some seriously good hard-boiled and noir crime writing.  If you like my stuff, then you'll find plenty more to enjoy with this fine group of crime writers: 

Eric Beetner  -  Preston Lang  -  Charles Roland  -  JL Boekestein  -  Morgan Boyd  -  JD Graves  -  Rick Risemberg  -  Michael Loniewski  -  Calvin Demmer  -  Ehren Baker  -  Scotch Rutherford

Grab yourself a copy!  Seriously, you'll enjoy!

Cheers,
