The Whole World is Watching: A Short Story (Ebook)

This companion story to Set the Night on Fire, my thriller set, in part, during the late 60s, is set during the same era. I originally wrote it as an exercise. Although I came of age during that time, I didn't have the confidence to write an entire novel about those times. So I started with a smaller canvas.

Two Chicago cops from different generations are partners during the 1968 riots at the Democratic Convention. The older cop is fine with bashing heads; the younger one isn't. Their conflict is the driving force of the story.

It actually turned out well and was published in the SISTERS ON THE CASE anthology edited by Sara Paretsky. I hope that, it captures some the passion, hope, and fury of those times.

And yes. This story gave me the motivations to embark on Set the Night on Fire.
