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!

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.
Chuck Berry Is Missing
The July/August 2024 issue of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine is out. It includes my short story, “Chuck Berry Is Missing,” featuring retired RCMP superintendent Stella Martin. I am showing an amazing amount of self-control here, folks. What I really want to do is shout it from the roof tops!
This is my third appearance in AHMM and I couldn’t be more pleased. The other stories in this issue are by: Vicki Weisfeld, Ken Linn, Janice Law, Joslyn Chase, Steven Sheil, Craig Faustus Buck, Tom Larsen, John H. Dirckx, Irette Y. Patterson, and John M. Floyd.
Two new interviews and a blog post
It’s been a busy week! The lovely Erik D’Souza interviewed me for Crime Writers of Canada about being a finalist for this year’s Excellence Awards. Here’s the link to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/pnOhvyu7YRc. While you’re there, take a look around. Erik has interviewed many, if not most, of the finalists.
My local newspaper, High River Times, also interviewed me about the Excellence Awards. Dan Marcinkowski dropped into Margins Bookstore in High River, where my sister authors, Lorrie Morales and Linda Rakos, and I did a book signing. https://www.highrivertimes.com/news/local-news/high-river-author-nominated-for-award
The winners of the CWC Excellence Awards will be announced on May 29.
And finally, I was featured on Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine blog, Trace Evidence, as my short story, “Chuck Berry is Missing,” will appear in the next issue. I write about the importance of interesting characters in keeping readers’ interest.
