I have one story in the Jan/Feb 2025 Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, “King of the Visigoths,” and one in the Jan/Feb 2025 Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, “No Title, No Clout.” Why, yes, I *am* bragging!
Be still, my foolish heart!

The Saturday Evening Post
My short story, “Sky Lanterns,” is in the November/December 2024 print edition of The Saturday Evening Post. In “Sky Lanterns,” a world-weary journalist returns home to give her sister one last gift. The story will also appear for free on their website on December 20, in honour of the Solstice.
The Saturday Evening Post has been part of my life since childhood. I’m very proud to have a story in it.
Getting Back into Heaven
My short story, “Getting Back into Heaven,” has been published in Black Cat Mystery Magazine #15, edited by Michael Bracken.
The story is set in a Yukon bush camp, where Estelle and Jonas struggle to rescue six young geologists trapped by a forest fire.
I’m so very pleased to see this one in print as it was a little longer than my usual and it was out of my comfort zone. But there you go, it found a good home. I’m also pleased to be in the same table of contents as the wonderful Elizabeth Elwood, among other excellent writers.
Of Stroganoff and Jerry cans
I’m so very pleased to have a new short story, “Of Stroganoff and Jerry Cans,” in the Sept/Oct 2024 Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. In “Stroganoff,” a retired police officer decides to do something about the neighborhood bully. Then he gets a surprise.
A lovely review for Chuck Berry
Thomas Grant Bruso from Press-Republican wrote a great review of my Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine short story, “Chuck Berry Is Missing”:
“Marcelle Dube’s deftly handled story, “Chuck Berry is Missing,” is one of the collection’s highlights, with its wintery, atmospheric backdrop and well-paced investigation. If you’re looking for a solid missing person mystery and summer crime, I urge you to pick up or download a copy of the latest Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.”
I can live with that.
