Harley Jane Kozak, Michael Mallory and Nathan Walpow, look for "It Doesn't Take a Genius" by Kate Thornton
Excerpt: "You'd think
having a job at Caltech would make me smart, but that's not how it works. There are plenty of regular people working
here, average folks like you and me who do average jobs in departments like
Finance and Administration. Sure, we all
get to see people like Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne once in a while – after
all it is the California Institute of Technology - but only the students
and the faculty are really smart.
Everyone else is practically invisible."

fabulous collection of murder mysteries written by
In MURDER ON SUNSET BOULEVARD edited by Rochelle Krich, Michael Mallory and
Lisa Seidman, look for "TWO
MULES FOR SISTER SARITA" by Kate Thornton
Excerpt: "Welcome to A Star is
Born Again," the clerk said as I inched my way past a display of fifties
halter dresses in Hawaiian prints. I had my eye on a pair of high-heeled
turquoise mules I'd seen in the window a few days before, but I did a double
take at the clerk's ensemble. It was tasteful and subdued, maybe the sort of
outfit Sister Mary Corita at Immaculate Heart might have sported just before
they dropped the habit requirement altogether, but it was still a nun's habit.
"Thank you," I
murmured. A nun's habit is one of the more difficult drag looks to pull off
properly, as you can't use makeup or rely on wigs or flashy clothes. I should
know - I'm a fairly successful entertainer myself, a headliner at the Cage,
although I was doing my shopping in my street clothes of jeans and a tee shirt.
I never wear drag on the street.
