The Canadian crime focused anthology Crimeucopia presents Canadian Chronicles is now available.
Packed with 17 tales each with a Canadian flavour, it covers a lot of subgenres in crime and mystery writing (not to mention various settings).
Best of all -> The anthology contains my story “The Comedian” written under my JM Connors pen name.
It’s a fast-paced tale about diamonds and double-crosses that should hopefully leave you guessing who to trust throughout as much as our protagonist.
As a bonus, and to my pleasant surprise, I’ve spotted a review that listed my story among the highlights of the edition:
“Here we have a diamond heist with choices around the known and unknow within the dark, criminal underbelly. It delivers a compelling and atmospheric exercise in localized noir. There’s sense of isolation, balanced by the author’s sharp, cynical wit and tight pacing in this story.
The title plays cleverly into the structure as Connors maneuvers the plot with a dark, cynical wit. The Comedian relies on the kind of gallows humor that leaves you feeling a bit uneasy about why you’re smiling, and where turn-about is always fair play.”
