This third issue of Down & Out: The Magazine features a new Jim Brodie story by Barry Lancet, whose novel Japantown has been optioned by J.J. Abrams and Warner Brothers for the Hollywood treatment. Here we have Brodie on a trip to his home in Japan and a quest to find out what's going on with the yakuza and a perplexing kidnapping.But first up is a story by Canadian favorite Peter Sellers; he delivers a nasty little crime story of love and loyalty in the workplace in his own unique style. Patti Abbott gives us a searing story proving once again how nothing torches the human soul like that of another person's expectations. Art Taylor, one of the best and most prolific short story artists working today, makes his first appearance here with a relatively short tale reminiscent of the late great Richard Matheson. Speaking of legends, Robert J. Randisi shares a story from his "Rat Pack" series. Next a writer who makes words look as though they fit together far more easily than they actually do is S.A. Solomon with her tale of corporate Big Business and other vices. Writing partners Frank Zafiro and Jim Wilsky debut separate stories from their Ania series, actual prequels to the novels, the first of which, Blood on Blood, will be released in April by Down & Out Books. A fine noir tale by prolific author Michael Bracken helps round us out.As usual we have another fantastic column by J. Kingston Pierce on the novels of the late Stanley Ellin, and for our "A Few Cents a Word" feature we present a discussion and a story by one of the hard-boiled school's originators, Raoul Whitfield.

Issue four closes our exciting first year with the very talented debut of Arthur Klepchukov. His intelligent "A Damn Fine Town" is followed by film director and writer John Shepphird and a prequel to his award-nominated "Shill" trilogy, a bit of a teaser for those of you who may not have discovered Jane Innes…yet. Brian Silverman is up next with a story set on his fictional Caribbean island of St. Pierre featuring his characters, Leonard and Tubby. The featured story this issue is of the most excellent Inspector Kubu by the writing team of Michael Stanley. If "Shoot to Kill" is your first Kubu tale, believe me, he's only better when he's in a novel. Our featured historical story is by the very prolific, very good Frederick C. Davis, who became one of Harry Whittington's "St. Pete Boys," the group of writers like Gil Brewer, Day Keene, and occasionally John D. MacDonald, that met on Sunday afternoons at Harry's house. Davis's story is the first Secrets, Inc. installment, "Blood on the Block." We close out the issue with an offbeat heist story by Robb T. White called "Inside Man," and a short piece by the always terrific Lissa Marie Redmond, who first appeared in issue two, called "We Don't Talk About Lester Anymore." There's a good reason for that.

Patricia is a lifelong resident of Central New York. A mom of two she is learning, with her husband, to empty nest."When not hanging out with the hubby and our fur kids on the patio, or enjoying my garden, I can be found scribbling into a notebook with a new idea I can't wait to share." Recently, she helped found The Wandering Wordsmiths, a group of local authors, who travel together, celebrating reading. While they hang out with their readers, they toss all those ideas about to keep the words flowing to the pages. The Reader's House magazine had ample time to conduct an interview with bestselling author Patricia Antone, who is the spotlight of the magazine.
