“TONE DEAF” in MUSIC, MURDER, MAYHEM AND MYSTERY
Selected for inclusion in Bouchercon Nashville 2024’s anthology
As you may know, each Bouchercon chooses a charity to support, and Nashville 2024 is no exception! We have chosen The Imagination Library, a charity founded by one of Nashville’s most famous residents, Dolly Parton. The Imagination Library provides free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five regardless of their family’s income. First launched in 1995, this award-winning program now provides two million books each month to children around the world.
One of the ways that Bouchercon raises money for their chosen charity is by producing and selling an anthology, the net proceeds of which will be donated to The Imagination Library along with the proceeds from our silent and live auctions.
The anthology debuts at Nashville debuts September 2024.

2023 Short Fiction Award winner Vera Chan, final judge Carlos Allende
They look like my daughter. Sixteen or seventeen, blonde hair that touches their shoulders, pale faces. The newspaper runs their photographs in black and white. I don’t know if their eyes are the same translucent blue, like the veins in her forearms. “Lucy,” I tell her, “they look so much like you.”
The Los Angeles Review print issue featuring all winners is available summer 2024.
