Whitey’s Elephant

I don't know about you, but I hate Christmas office parties. I spend all year with work people. Why add another night?

(This is one of the reasons I work alone).

My latest story is Whitey's Elephant, and it is about a Christmas party of a different kind -- a party for mafia wiseguys, told in the format of a wiretap transcript. It's the kind of Christmas party I might attend, purely from academic interest.

The best part -- whether you are reading this at Christmas or the height of summer -- is that the story is free to read at Cold Caller. Publishing on Substack, Cold Caller is a new market for crime fiction, and I'm grateful to be a part of it. Please check out my story, and while you're over there, explore everything Cold Caller has to offer, and consider a subscription. We need all the crime fiction markets we can get!

Story notes to follow in due course. I've also done an interview with Cold Caller that should run soon -- watch this space.
