Extract 3 from This Month's Release: Pixie Dust Dreaming (C.M.'s Collections #7)

Pixies, trolls and urban policing, things got interesting when the Otherworld renewed its connection to ours. A new suite of crimes sprang into existence overnight…and a new breed of officer had to be found to combat them. This volume brings together all the stories, so far published, of the officers in the Paranormal Operations Squad…and the world in which they strive to maintain the peace.

 Here's the third entry in this month's release of Pixie Dust Dreaming, the 7th collection in my Collections series, which releases on the 4th and is currently available on pre-order. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/mY6xvP.

Never Irritate a Pixie

Written on November 23, 2013, this piece first appeared in 365 Days of Flash Fiction, and takes another look at what might happen to a pixie in the hands of a modern criminal.

Never piss off a pixie. I mean it; they might be little, but they can be real mean—among the meanest fairytale creatures I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve encountered a few. I knew a cat burglar, once. Even arrested him. Whoever said crime doesn’t pay, has no idea what they’re talking about. It pays real well, for as long you can get away with it. Anyway, Holden was the sort of cat burglar who’d take a job 60 floors up—and pull it off. We never could figure out how—until the pixie escaped and dropped him over a cliff.
