Dare you read our latest Sweet, Funny, and Strange^(R) anthology?

The Bethlehem Writers Group is pleased to present this collection of tales of mystery and intrigue-the latest in its award-winning series of "Sweet, Funny, and Strange"^(R) anthologies. From classic whodunnits to tales of the unexplained, each of the twenty-three stories contained herein have an element of mystery that will keep you guessing and wanting to read just one more story.

We're thrilled to have old friends, but new members of BWG, join us this year. Award-winning author Debra H. Goldstein favors us with a mystery set among volunteers at a synagogue entitled "Death in the Hand of the Tongue," while "Sense Memory," by the multi-talented Paula Gail Benson, brings a delightful mix of mystery and the paranormal that helps a young couple find their way to each other.

In addition, we are happy to bring you the winning stories from two of our annual Short Story Award competitions: "Good Cop/Bad Cop" by Trey Dowell (2021 winner) and "The Tabac Man" by Eleanor Ingbretson (2022 winner). This is the second time that Ms. Ingbretson has won our Short Story Award competition.
