Map of Murder

Red Coyote Press
ISBN: 0-9766733-3-9

"Another favorite, and not just because it is set on the Texas Gulf Coast , is Carol Kilgore's 'Bunuelos for the Beach.' Pete is dead, Gina is heartbroken at the death of her friend and Detective Cantu is on the case.

"While each story occurs in a different location, each story features complex characters involved in complex cases that lead the reader through a delightful tale. The result is an excellent criss cross trail across America full of murder, deceit, and betrayal."

KEVIN'S CORNER

I'm delighted to be part of this great anthology with such talented writers and hard-working editors. In my story, "Buñuelos for the Beach," artist Gina Agruso runs into a little trouble one morning along the shore of Padre Island, just off the South Texas coast. Gina Agruso's trouble increases as the day goes on. Does she ever get to eat her buñuelos? Read the story and find out!

Fedora III

Betancourt & Co.
ISBN 0-80958-945-1

"By now, pretty much everyone is very familiar with the classic detective cliché. In this anthology, the cliché is stood on its head and spun around for interesting results . . . interested readers won't find a bad story in the bunch.

"'Ordained Sin' by Carol Kilgore features Nolan Douglas who just ticked off his girlfriend?again. But, a case that falls into his lap just might help him ease back into her good graces as well as allowing him to clean up some human scum. Sometimes the innocents truly do suffer and nothing and no one can save them."

MYSTERICAL-E

My story ~ "Ordained Sin" ~ focuses on Nolan Douglas, a Texas Hill Country PI, and the depravity he uncovers at a local dude ranch. I'm pleased to share space with sixteen other authors in this volume of hard-hitting crime fiction stories, including a story by the editor, Michael Bracken.

"MIMOSA features one of the sexiest women I've read in a short in a long, long time, and it's not hard to see how she entrances Kilgore's central character."
