KN Magazine: Short Stories
Detour to Murder
When a Fred Harvey “Indian Detours” tour group arrives at the Hotel Alvarado in 1920s Albuquerque, a body turns up in the courtyard—platinum hair, blood, and a secret no one wants exposed. As Detective Webb untangles alibis, speakeasy detours, and mistaken identity, the case reveals a clever twist where jealousy, invisibility, and assumption become deadly.
The Final Portrait
As a military junta closes in, a young painter races to finish a portrait that may do more than capture a face—it may capture a soul. The Final Portrait is a tense, magical-realist political thriller about art as resistance, the legacy of grief, and the deadly power hidden in a pair of painted eyes.
A Matter of Time
When Madison stops in a nearly abandoned town to repair her grandfather’s antique watch, she discovers a chilling truth: Horary Crossing isn’t just forgotten—it’s unstuck in time. As the past awakens around her and a long-dead killer returns, Madison must fight to survive a night that has already happened… and is happening again.
