Here’s your first look at Bad Intentions, our crime fiction anthology inspired by Warren Zevon & edited by @kmwriter01.bsky.social . Fifteen writers. Fifteen stories. No clean getaways. Great work & huge thanks to @frankvatel312.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the cover design. Coming July 7.

Meet the Authors of “Bad Intentions” today (and the artist behind the cover tomorrow) at the St**k open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

Yesterday, we introduced you to the writers behind "Bad Intentions". Today, we're introducing the man responsible for making it look this good. Writer/Artist @frankvatel312.bsky.social discusses his cover design for Bad Intentions. open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

You asked for it - you got it. A Friday double feature at the Garage (maybe you didn't really ask, but you're getting it anyway).

Our short story is 1st: A city editor walks into a motel room with an undercover cop. Unfortunately, that's the least awkward part of his day. His defense somehow gets worse the longer he explains it. "Stung" by Stephen Bailey is sharp, funny & full of newsroom politics literarygarage.com/stung

Followed by our 2nd story: A summer night, cheap beer, neighborhood gossip & a missing family. Funny, nostalgic, unsettling & packed with the kind of neighborhood folklore that never quite leaves you. Check out @iephemera.bsky.social 's cool story at the Garage: literarygarage.com/eddie-the-si...
