The Copycats Issue of Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem Has Been Released!

 

Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem has released its Copycats issue, and it features my nonfiction article “The Case of the Spurious Sherlock,” about a discovered Sherlock Holmes short story wrongly attributed to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and how the true authorship was determined.  The issue also features my short story, “Watch Out for Exploding Trees,” about a ridiculous murder plot in a snow-covered area of Wisconsin.
