  I have been asked to contribute
to several anthologies of short stories including those listed below. Enjoy.
Once Upon A Crime
is both a labor of love and a tribute to the best
mystery book store in the nation - Once Upon A Crime in Minneapolis - and Pat
Frovarp and Gary Shulze, the booksellers who own it. It features stories by myself
as well as some of the finest crime writers in the business including C.J. Box,
Michael Stanley, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Gary Phillips, Anne Fraser, Pat Dennis,
Pete Hautman, Chris Everheart, William Kent Krueger, Lori Lake, Gary R. Bush, Reed
Farrel Coleman, Mary Logue, Lois Greiman, Terri Persons, Max Allan Collins and Barbara
Collins, Sujata Massey and S.J. Rozan with an introduction by Vince Flynn.
Reviews
"The warmth felt by the contributors toward the Minneapolis mystery bookstore
that gives this all-original anthology its name is shown in the high quality of
many of its 24 entries."
--Publishers Weekly
"A great collection of stories from great writers, dedicated to a great bookstore."
--John Sandford, #1 New York Times best-selling author
Silence Of The Loons,
an anthology of short stories written by 13 of
Minnesota's finest mystery writers, is a big hit. Each tale takes place in Minnesota
and each features four of eight clues. The clues are listed in the back of the book
- or you can figure them out for yourself. Silence Of The Loons is the brainchild of my
pals William Kent Krueger, Carl Brookins, Deborah Woodworth and Ellen Hart. It
also included stories by Judith Guest, Mary Logue, K. J. Erickson, Monica Ferris,
M. D. Lake, Pat Dennis, Lori Lake, and Kerri Miller, with a forward by R. D. Zimmerman.
Reviews
"One of the most delightful reads of the fall season. Housewright's 'A
Domestic Matter,' about a guy who helps friends, has such a perfect O. Henry
ending you want to reread it to figure out how he did it."
--St. Paul Pioneer Press
Twin Cities Noir
is an anthology of short stories that reveals "the underside of
Murderopolis/St. Paul from the inside out." It features new fiction
from Steve Thayer, Judith Guest, Mary Logue, Bruce Rubenstein, K.J. Erickson,
William Kent Krueger, Ellen Hart, Brad Zellar, Mary Sharratt, Pete Hautman, Larry
Millett, Quinton Skinner, Gary Bush, Chris Everheart and myself. The book is
edited by Julie Schaper and Steven Horwitz. Go to
Akashic Books for details.
Reviews
"Minnesota Book Award winner, David Housewright's 'Mai-Nu's
Window' opens the collection. A shy Puerto Rican teenage boy and a Hmong woman
going to law school are Frogtown neighbors. The unexpected consequences of their
encounter reveals the challenges of immigrant tradition and American assimulation,
with subtle perfection, echoing classic themes from James M. Cain."
--Twin Cities Daily Planet
Resort To Murder
is another anthology of short stories
written by Minnesota authors brought to you by my pals at the
Minnesota Crime Wave. Other writers include William Kent Krueger, Ellen Hart,
and Jess Lourey with an introduction by Lorna Lanvik.
Reviews
"An entertaining second volume of short stories from Minnesota writers (that)
introduces some promising talent to a wider audience. Taking a somewhat darker
tack than the previous anthology Silence of the Loons, many of the 13 stories
center on actual or suspected infidelty or some other betrayal... David Housewright's
"Miss Behavin'" which follows a philandering physician down a spirial of bad luck
and poor choices (is) particularly taut and suspenseful."
