“The Case of the Reluctant Minotaur”, a new Ramses and Bernie mystery adventure is featured in the June edition of Dirty Magick Magazine. Check out the cover below. I think this is the editor’s attempt at putting Alexis on the cover. Alexis is my newest character in the world of The Wrong Side of the Rainbow stories. He’s a kind-hearted minotaur with terrible foot problems. You see, human legs were never meant to carry the weight of the upper torso of a bull. In “The Case of the Reluctant Minotaur”, Alexis helps Special Agent Ramses II and Bernie Clayberg track down a smuggling ring.
This story has long been a favorite of mine, but I had trouble placing it with an editor. I knew, in my authorial heart, they were right not to buy it, the second half was never quite right. One day inspiration struck, and I rewrote the entire thing. A month later it was accepted.
