WELCOME TO OUR third annual Mystery Times anthology. This year we offer up ten tales of murder, mystery, and suspense. Written by both new and established authors alike, they were selected from more than two hundred entries. There's something here for every mystery fan, from hard-boiled to paranormal. You'll want to bring along your sense of humor, because this year's collection has its tongue firmly planted in one cheek. Each story is a small bite of mystery that will satisfy and delight even the most discerning of readers. So find a comfortable chair, fill your glass or mug, and get ready...

Brings together the unique voices of 39 of some of the most creative thinkers of our times to consider the impact of one of our six main senses: touch. Psychologists, healers, massage therapists, academics, creative writers and others reflect on or tell personal stories about what it means to be able to touch, or to have to go without it.
