1 y separately published work icon Scarlet Stiletto: The Sixth Cut Sisters in Crime , Moraig Kisler (editor), Bittern : Clan Destine Press , 2014 12310388 2014 anthology short story

'The Sixth Cut features gold nugget wielding daughters, killer scrabble players, crooked cops, blue-tongued husbands and the dirty little secrets of librarians. Revenge is always a steady theme in the history of the Scarlet Stilettos, but in the 2014 anthology not only husbands and significant others but also bullying colleagues and statue-stealing weirdos were targeted. This delicious array of stories offers excellent advice on how to be rid of bothersome people, and a satisfying and at times comic treat for lovers of all things criminal.' (Publication Summary)
