Lorna's Writing in Anthologies
Cold Canadian Crime
Cold Canadian Crime takes us on a cross-country tour of murder, abduction, blackmail, and the many faces of retribution. We find ourselves dealing with family secrets and lies in present-day Toronto, in a raging blizzard on a Quebec highway, pursuing a cold case with an amateur sleuth in Vancouver, and on a historic manhunt in the high Arctic in the 1930s.

The 13th Letter
M is for Mesdames, Messieurs, mystery…and murder!
M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, and it begins so many wicked words: malice, Machiavelli, mayhem and of course, murder. But it also heads up mischief, melody and madcap mystery. And what could better suit the Mesdames and Messieurs of Mayhem? After all, thirteen is our lucky number!
Welcome to our sixth anthology, a book of 22 deviously crafted tales based on each author’s twisted take on the letter “M” or literally, a thirteenth letter. Most stories are light-hearted to counter our troubled times but a few do shade into the dark. Enjoy them all and remember:
The Mesdames and Messieurs of Mayhem is a collective of established Canadian crime fiction authors and talented new writers of the genre.
