ANOTHER SUMMER READ--LOW DOWN DIRTY: A CRIME FICTION ANTHOLOGY

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.

Low Down Dirty: A Crime Fiction Anthology
Eleven writers from across the country and across the 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.
