If you liked Coastal Crimes, Volume I: Mysteries by
the Sea, you have a treat in store. Members of Mystery by the Sea (MBTS),
the Virginia Beach chapter of Sisters in Crime, are hard at work on a
sequel: Coastal Crimes, Volume II: Death Takes a Vacation. True to our
by-the-sea vibe, this next anthology features short stories by some of your
favorite local authors, centered around a common theme: mysterious deaths involving a vacation destination in
the Coastal Plain of Virginia or North Carolina east of Interstate-95.
So, for
those tourists among you who come here to enjoy a respite from the hustle and bustle
of your ordinary lives? BEWARE! And for locals? Maybe it's time to call a moving company...
As this blog goes to press, our chapter's wrapping up the submissions process. We anticipate approximately fifteen stories averaging around 5,000 words
each. Soon, we’ll start our internal editing process, with Teresa Inge and
Yvonne Saxon leading the way. Wildside Press has agreed to publish Coastal
Crimes, Volume II, with an anticipated release date in late winter/early spring 2024.
More
details to follow, including a cover reveal, as we progress. Stay tuned!
