With the ballots for the Agatha nominations at Malice Domestic
convention due in less than 2 weeks, I'm still struggling to find five
entries for the best short story section. In the past I've used the
Malice Domestic pocket anthologies for ideas, but this year I don't even
want to move from my computer! Are there are any mystery mag websites
that offer access to published short stories? I've surfed for stories
without success for the last few days. For example, I'm dying to read
Kate Grilley's Guavaberry Christmas, which was published in Murderous
Intent last fall, but it's not posted on that website. If I'm wrong,
please correct me and tell me how to find it!

About Digestives:
There's a descriptive line in a recent Vogue article about the new
society maven Julia Koch carrying a purse the color and texture of a
digestive biscuit--a reference only Brits, Canadians, and members of
this listserv can truly appreciate! I was in London in Dec. and I bought
a long roll of Safeway brand digestives with dark chocolate coating to
take home. I'm still eating them one by one. They never get stale. When
I run out, I will buy some Carr's digestive biscuits at the Giant
supermarket in Baltimore. Giant also carries Weetabix--and although the
box is the same, the little pressed loaves of Weetabix don't seem to
taste as good. Maybe our milk is different here?
