Mystery author Camille Minichino has been a guest
here many times. She recently sent me a copy of an anthology she contributed
to, and it became one of my summer reads. Low Down Dirty: A Crime Fiction
Anthology takes on an issue that affects not only all Americans but citizens
worldwide.
The stories featured in this anthology were all
written around the theme of fighting voter suppression. Our right to vote is
one of our most precious rights as a citizen. No matter whether you lean left
or right or are firmly entrenched in the middle, no one has the right to
suppress or tamper with your right to cast your ballot on Election Day. (Don’t
forget to vote on November 6th!)
But aside from their theme, these eleven short
stories are also really good reads for anyone who enjoys crime fiction.
Along with Camille Minichino, the other authors who
contributed stories to the anthology are Catriona McPherson, Kris Calvin, Ray
Daniel, David Hagerty, Ann Parker, Travis Richardson, James Ziskin, Alison
Catharine, and Mariah Klein.

Atlantic contributed short crime fiction to this anthology, which includes both
award winners and brand new voices. Each writer addressed the theme
"fighting voter suppression." Proceeds from the sale of this book are
donated to the ACLU Foundation to help protect the voting rights of all
Americans.

Thanks, Lois. We can't have too many reminders that we can't take our rights for granted. Like all elections, this one is crucial and all our voices must be heard.
I'm glad you enjoyed our stories, too!
We're always happy to have you stop by for a visit, Camille. And you're so right about not taking our rights for granted. Too many Americans never bother to vote. I read somewhere once that we have the lowest voter turnout each election of any democratic nation. That's horrifying.
