It’s Tuesday- that means it’s time for a new BEHIND THE STORIES, this week with @WhiskeyLeavins and his excellent story in Bad Intentions (“Boom Boom Mancini”).
Pick up a copy of Bad Intentions & check out Whiskey’s cool Santa Lacrimosa books!
Damn good writing!
BEHIND THE STORIES
Not only a terrific crime story by @WhiskeyLeavins , it’s about what happens after the crowd stops cheering.
That’s an incredibly Zevon-like idea & it makes Boom Boom Mancini one of the anthology’s most quietly affecting stories.

I got to speak to a dream team of crime writers about what they preferred writing, novels or short stories. Seriously, take a gander at these BOLDFACE NAMES and their opinions in my new @CrimeReads piece.

This week's Side B features @keithroysdon 's Bad Intention story "Sunset Stakeout" ...a cool story about Hollywood dreams, dangerous deals & the fine art of settling for less.
This one hit a 70s detective show sweet spot for me.
Check it out:

Phillies fans now say “we’re in the bullpen now” the way Dr Strange said “we’re in the endgame now.”

This week at Side B features Zakariah Johnson’s excellent story.
“Bad Road, Wretched Road” is a dark, hard-driving story about bad choices, worse roads, and the kind of trouble that keeps coming long after you think you’ve outrun it.

Thanks @KMWriter01 for the plug, and right back at ya....Michael's a terrific editor, great writer and overall nice guy. Appreciate all the kindness and support!
I'm pinch-hitting at BEHIND THE STORY this week. Check out this cool Q & A with @jessebinger about "Carmelita" in Bad Intentions as well as his sky-rocketing writing career.
If you're not familiar with Jesse's writing, this is a great place to start.
