Smart Rhino Publications, which released my short story “The Little Things” in ZIPPERED FLESH 2 on February 6, is offering the Kindle edition of its thriller anthology, UNCOMMON ASSASSINS, as a free download now through Sunday, March 3.
Hired killers. Vigilantes. Executioners. Paid killers or assassins working from a moral or political motivation. You’ll find them all in this thrilling anthology. But these are not ordinary killers, not your run-of-the-mill hitmen. The emphasis is on the “uncommon” here—unusual characters, usual situations, and especially unusual means of killing.
