Information for Authors

We feature short stories in the detective or mystery genres here. If you would like your writing included on this blog, email the following to discretionassured2 [ at sign] gmail.com:

1) Your name and a two or three sentence biography and single sentence description of each story.
2) The URL to your blog or web page where the entire story (not just a teaser) is included.
3) The URL to your blog or web page main page (for our blogroll)
4) If you have a book for sale on Amazon, the URL at amazon for the book.

Book excerpts are fine, as long as it is are a self-contained detective or mystery story in its own right. 
After receiving this information, we will confirm it for compliance with the blog (see below for caveats) and post it to the site. We also expect that you will add a link to the main page of Discretion Assured to your blog roll or web page.

We reserve the right to remove an author who has not linked back to our site in a timely fashion. 

What we won't post:
Gratuitous sex and violence not crucial and central to the story
Hate speech of any kind
Excessive profanity 

We're not prudes, but we also want to maintain a page for the general reader of detective and mystery short fiction.
