Our own Gin Jones is part of a holiday anthology called Holidays and Homicides (a disturbingly apt title as far as I’m concerned) which includes authors Rosalie Spielman, Lena Gregory, Kelly Rey, Anne Marie Stoddard, Jennifer Fischetto, Annie McEwen, Christine Knapp, Misty Simon, Erica Wynters, Jamie L. Adams, and Catherine Bruns. Gin’s story is “A Heartland Homicide,” and it’s part of the Bourbon B&B Mysteries.
Gin says, “From twelve USA Today bestselling and award winning authors, comes a short story collection stuffed full of mirthful mysteries, clever criminals, and holiday cheer! These short holiday bites are perfect for enjoying between rounds of wrapping or binge-reading over a cup of cocoa!
“Most of the stories have a Christmas or New Year’s Eve setting, but mine happens on Valentine’s Day weekend, with a bunch of college friends who book the entire Three Sisters B&B for a Pal-entine’s Day reunion. There’s a murder, of course, plus a bit of romance, and a blizzard that snows everyone in and complicates everything.”

Yay Gin!
Thanks. This was a fun palate-cleanser to write!
Congratulations, Gin!
Thanks!
Congratulations, Gin!
Thanks for sharing this. I’m friends with Jennifer Fischetto, so it was a happy surprise to see her name in this post.
I hope the anthology sells well!
Jenn and I are online buddies too! We got to know each other in a group of authors writing the Danger Cove series for Gemma Halliday Publishing. I think hers was the second or third in the series and mine was fourth.
Did you see her blog post yesterday in the book tour? It’s here: https://www.escapewithdollycas.com/2025/12/04/special-guest-jennifer-fischetto-one-of-the-authors-of-holidays-homicides-a-short-story-collection-review-giveaway-great-escapes-book-tour/
I’m so thrilled to see friends here. 🥰
Congrats, Gin! Ooh, short stories! I find the older I get, the more I appreciate short reads. Looking forward to these ones. 🙂
Thanks! I’m starting to appreciate shorts too, as both a reader and a writer.
Got mine. 🙂
Thanks! Hope you enjoy the stories.
Congratulations, Gin! May this bring you many new readers and fans!
Thank you! At the moment, it’s mostly bringing me Instagram followers (from the book blog tour). They may be disappointed that I hardly ever post book-related stuff, and my feed is filled with quilts, vegetable garden updates, and cats. Well, everyone loves cats, so that’s okay, I guess.
This was such a fun project! I hope readers enjoy it. <3
