If you’re looking for a 4,000-word distraction, the first Pentecost & Parker short story is live!
“First Dance at the White Clover” is a tale of love and death at a gay nightclub in New York City in 1943. Willowjean “Will” Parker is six months into her tutelage under master detective, Lillian Pentecost, and getting frustrated that she’s spending more time learning shorthand than mastering her quick draw. When a guy turns up dead at a hush-hush hot spot, she’s hoping for some thrills. What she gets is a lesson she’ll never forget.
It’s a perfect jumping on point for new readers, or for old fans eager for a glimpse into the early years of Pentecost & Parker. Those heady days when people actually lined up to punch Nazis.

DRESSING BOBBY STRONG by Stephen Spotswood
Starring Korilyn Hendricks & Wesslen Romano
Our 3rd Annual Short Play Festival opens this Friday!
Here's the cast, writer, & director of the play DRESSING BOBBY STRONG written by Stephen Spotswood🤘
All five novels in the Pentecost & Parker series are now available in colorful matching paperbacks! The perfect gift for someone into vintage hardboiled whodunnits, feminist femme fatales, circus-trained sleuths, serial killers, gangsters, secret Nazis hunts, amoral but sexy criminal masterminds who make a really strong argument for eating the rich, sprawling supporting casts, slow burn then fast burn queer romance, and a genius detective with dark secrets hiding in her past. And if you’re into that kind of thing yourself…link’s in the bio. #bookstagram #authorslife #mystery #lgbtq🌈, #pentecostandparker
