Over two years ago, I read Terrie Farley Moran's story in the final Hardluck Stories and immediately asked her for a tale for BTAP. Ms. Moran has been busy: her noir short, "When A Bright Star Fades," was named a Distinguished Mystery Story of 2008; her paranormal mystery, "The Awareness," can be found in the 2010 MWA anthology, Crimes By Moonlight, edited by Charlaine Harris; and "Fontaine House" will appear in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine in the second half of 2011.Well good things are worth waiting for, because I'm happy to say Ms. Moran is at BEAT to a PULP this week with "For Keepsies."
