Twelve authors. One prompt.

Eighteen short stories. Given only three words—crimes, sins, misdemeanors—a dozen skilled authors have created a tremendous adventure through the dark side of humanity.

In these pages, you’ll find: a political prisoner in what turns out to be not-so-solitary confinement; a young woman who has finally had enough of being abused by her lowlife husband; two busybody elderly sisters who become convinced that their next-door-neighbor has murdered his wife; a man who fulfills his buddy’s dream of owning a very special car; a wild-child teenage girl desperate to find a way to bail her boyfriend out of jail; a rivalry between two farmers that turns deadly; and a lonely, frustrated little boy who discovers a powerful and terrifying new way to channel his anger. And those are just a few of the wonderful tales you’ll find in Crimes, Sins, and Misdemeanors.

The styles and approaches are as unique as the authors are—there’s truly something for everyone’s tastes. So fasten your seatbelts, and see where this collection takes you.
