November is Mystery Month on iPulpFiction.com – Where The Short Story Lives.
"Death of a Snowbird", the first mystery in The J. A. Jance Casebook Series, is the featured story-of-the-month. According to iPulp publisher Keith Shaw, this series marks the first time that the best-selling author’s short stories are appearing together. J. A. Jance is known for her mystery and thriller novels featuring retired Seattle police officer J. P. Beaumont and Arizona sheriff Joanna Brady, but the characters in this collection of short stories are as genuine and compelling as those in her novels.
iPulpFiction.com also inaugurates two other new mystery series in November. Moonchases and Other Stories features short stories by multiple award-winning mystery writer Ed Gorman. Dean Koontz said this about the collection: “Quietly but with great suspense, it speaks of universal truths in a haunting voice that makes it absolutely unforgettable.”
The Bill Ferrel Mysteries are Bill Crider's lighthearted homage to the Hollywood private investigators of the 1940s. Ferrel’s hair may be thinning on top, and perhaps he's not the most heroic guy around, but he has a steady client in Gober Studios. To say the cases are a bit unusual is an understatement.
Jance, Gorman, and Crider join iPulp's growing list of authors that includes writers such as Ben Bova, Orson Scott Card, Bruce Coville, and David Lubar. In addition to mysteries, the site features sci-fi, Westerns, crime stories, romance, fantasy, and adventure stories for all ages.
