Mind Game by Ben Rehder (
SYKM), a short story in his Edgar-nominated humorous Blanco County Mystery series starring a Texas game warden, which was published by Adams Media's Tyrus imprint and currently has new installments out from St. Martin's Press (and which we've previously received several as rights-reverted KDP freebies from the author a couple of years ago).
Rehder also offers a non-fiction collection of his magazine articles mostly about Texas game-wardening:

The sheriff of Blanco County has a problem on his hands. One local resident is making vague threats—hypothetically speaking, of course—to unsettle another local resident, who stole the first man's girlfriend. The problem escalates and violence is almost certain, until the sheriff comes up with a brilliant and ironic solution.

Murder Mystery Collection by Bruce Beckham, who says he has won The Scotsman newspaper's Orange Award for one of the included stories. Beckham also offers a freebie 1st-in-series self-pub police procedural novel involving an ad agency murder (the author is himself a copywriter, according to his bio-blurb) and a horror-ish coming of age suspense novel, if you think you might care to try them.
Eight short stories set in Edinburgh, Scotland, including the Orange/Scotsman Award-Winning 'Cross Words', a tale of madness and murder; 'Grandmother's Clock', a true 'ghost' story about a mysterious and unpredictable heirloom; and 'Ukraine Girls', the self-contained opening chapter of Bruce Beckham's upcoming thriller of the same title.
