Crimes, Sins, & Misdemeanors: Theme and Variations from the Bumbershoots Writers Society and Guests

By Marlon S Hayes and Gordon Bonnet

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.
