IN ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S MYSTERY MAGAZINE<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

“This One Oughta Go Different”<\/h2>\n

My lucky 13th story for Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine hits the shelves and your e-readers on September 9, 2025. It’s always a delight to be back in those pages.<\/p>\n

This offering is a comic romp through new-meets-old Nashville and is the 3rd AHMM story featuring semi-shady lawyer Vernon Stagg. It’s got drinking, gambling, twists, turns, and repeated thwacks on the head.<\/p>\n

Notes from the Field<\/h3>\n

Saintes-Marie, France<\/h4>\n

So I’m in the South of France badlands and this cowboy tour guide is giving us a French-only tour of the bull ranch. I’m in a hay wagon parked mid-pasture with about thirty Germans, and they’re dying at whatever comedy routine he’s nailing. I’m getting about every fifth word. Some of that is I’m distracted by the horned mass coming up in numbers behind the cowboy guy. He can’t stop crushing his routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is life lived, everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are moments that inspire me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
