      <image:title>Articles - Writing in 2024 - Mini-mysteries</image:title>
      <image:caption>But, on top of her novels, Sesame is busy with multiple other smaller projects, including mini-mysteries, the first of which was just published on Medium and Substack — look for SS’s Christmas Caper in either place. And if that’s not enough, I’m pushing into the erotic mystery side of things with her. Her first erotic mini-mystery is already out — The Case of the Hypnotized Hon, in which Sesame and her friends go to Vegas for a girl’s weekend, and Sesame gets into some trouble. This latter bit is part of a project I call Swallow: After Dark, and I’ve already started on the second erotic mini.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In The Night We Buried Our Last Fuck, a one-act play, three women have been meeting for months over coffee to discuss all the ways they’d love to kill a man named Joe Bones, an aging has-been rock star who dated and cheated on each of them.
