Blood on the Bayou

Bouchercon Anthology 2016

Blood on the Bayou is published in conjunction with the 2016 Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, held in New Orleans. As with the convention itself, the anthology spreads a broad canopy across a wide variety of crime writers from across the country and around the world—including both veteran writers and the brightest up-and-coming talents in the field. These stories range from the light-hearted and fun to the darker side of crime; just as New Orleans and the bayou country can show both to the unsuspecting. Sheila's contribution to the anthology is "After Dark."
