A special reason that I attended this year’s Killer Nashville was the
launch of its first anthology, Killer
Nashville Noir: Cold-Blooded. When Robert Dugoni was approached to
contribute a “southern” story, he kindly asked me to collaborate and help make
the story authentic. Through his generosity, I received not only a personalized
master class, but also a writing credit with a New York Times bestselling
author in a collection featuring notables of the mystery, suspense, and
thriller genres. Our story, “A Matter of Honor,” features a murder in the South
Carolina Statehouse basement. Thanks, Clay Stafford, for this wonderful opportunity!

I
considered it a privilege when Robert Dugoni asked me to collaborate on a short
story for an anthology to be published through Clay Stafford’s Killer Nashville
organization. The writing process was like taking a personalized master class
in craft and discipline. Then, today, I found the book available for pre-order
through Amazon. The description includes the following statement: “This
collection of new stories features some of the biggest names in suspense, from
titans like Jeffery Deaver and Anne Perry to ferociously talented newcomers
like Dana Chamblee Carpenter and Paula Gail Benson.” I’m truly humbled and
grateful for this opportunity.
