I have a new short story out this week in Mystery Tribune called “Shooting the Breeze”. It’s set in Providence, Rhode Island in the summer of 1964 and centers on two recent retirees who are neighbors in a working-class section of Providence called Olneyville. Sitting together on a sweltering morning outside their tenement, they engage in some light small talk that soon takes a darker turn. Click on the link below and have a read!
