About the Book

I've always liked short stories, short shorts, and flash fiction. The investment of time is on the briefer side, and often just as rewarding as a novel. I've penned a few, myself, and selected my personal favorites, including a couple of flashes. All the selections involve murder, suspense, surprise or chicanery. Some stories have pretty unlikely heroes, such as an English bulldog named Jemma. Some learn and grow, some go to jail, some die, some profit from other people's villainy. The common thread is their humanness, even the dog's. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.
About the Author: After studying drama at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida, Heather went to Manhattan to pursue a career. There she wrote short stories, novels, comedy acts, television treatments, ad copy, commercials, and two one-act plays, produced at several places, such as Playwrights Horizon. Once she even ghostwrote a book on how to run an employment agency. She was unemployed at the time. One of her first paying jobs was writing a love story for a book published by Bantam called Moments of Love. She had a deadline of one week but promptly came down with the flu. Heather wrote "The Sands of Time" with a raging temperature, and delivered some pretty hot stuff because of it. Her stint at New York City's No Soap Radio - where she wrote comedic ad copy - help develop her long-time love affair with comedy. So far, she has written four novels in the humorous Alvarez Family Murder Mystery series. The first, Murder is a Family Business, was winner of the Single Titles Reviewers' Choice Award 2011. The second, A Wedding to Die For, received the finalist nods from both Global and EPIC's Best eBook Mystery of the Year, 2012. The third of the series, Death Runs in the Family, received the Gold for Best Mystery Fiction 2013. The fourth book, Dead...If Only, was released October 13, 2014. Books one and two of the Persephone Cole Vintage Mysteries, The Dagger Before Me, Iced Diamonds, and the soon-to-be-released The Chocolate Kiss-Off are centered around one of Manhattan's first female detectives (Sam Spade with lipstick) during WWII. Death of a Clown, winner of the Silver IPPY for Best Mystery/thriller 2014, is a standalone mystery noir, which takes place during the golden age of circus life of the forties.
