Trouble in the USA: Two Short Mysteries
by Rebecca Barrett, Susan Y. Tanner

In Yankee Doodle Trouble by Rebecca Barrett, a parade and shared community feast provide excellent cover for murder. Caroline Peabody isn’t surprised when her grandfather’s priceless collection of military antiques garners more interest than the flash of fireworks or the Southern feast of barbecue, potato salad, and banana pudding. The relics from bygone wars also draws more than their fair share of villains, but not more than Trouble can handle!

In the second story, Veterans Day doesn’t honor war but rather those who have served. Few know better the cost of that service than those who have lived it—or those who have studied it. In Trouble in Arms by Susan Y. Tanner, novelist Erin Shaw weaves sagas of families whose lives have been altered by combat. Most of her readers adore Erin’s work. But not everyone. Trouble must ensure her safety from those who don’t.

Both stories were originally published January 2020 in YEAR-ROUND TROUBLE anthology eBook and trade paperback.



Rebecca Barrett's Bio

Rebecca Barrett writes historical fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction (writing as Campbell O’Neal), children’s stories, and short stories of life in the South. An avid reader all her life and a product of “front porch” socializing, she became a story-teller at an early age. Her current novel, Trouble in Paradise (available now), features that handsome, sleek, black cat detective, Trouble. This is a new series with multiple authors (The Mad Catters) who follow the antics of super-sleuth Trouble as he lands in first one crime scene then another. Of course, the humans help a little. These romantic mysteries are fun and light hearted and just perfect for a beach read or a rainy day. Visit the author’s website at rebeccabarrett.com to enjoy some of her short stories.
