Just wanted to give you all a taste of what's coming up in DAYDREAM BELIEVER, anthology of crime stories edited by me and @michellekubitz.bsky.social based on the songs of the Monkees. Today, @wiscowriterguy.bsky.social wrote a darkly funny story based on Pleasant Valley Sunday. #booksky

The quote: “The new Most Beautiful Home lawn sign glittered tastefully on the lawn beside the sidewalk. The previous three were in her garage, mounted on the wall like hunting trophies. Teddy loved winning that competition; she loved it more than she had ever loved Dave.”
