Join author Joel Arnold as he takes you on a potentially murderous ride through the pronto pup stands, mini-donuts, fairway rides, carnival games, corn kernel art, and porkchops-on-a-stick of Minnesota’s ‘Great Get Together’ â€" the Minnesota State Fair â€" in his short story, Taking Care of Katrina.
When hired by Johnny Billings to kill off Katrina Billings â€" Johnny’s grandmother â€" for an inheritance, first-time hit man Bruce Gavin thinks it should be a piece of cake. What can an old lady already knocking on death’s door do to stop him? But when he poses as Grandma Billings’ personal care assistant and takes her to the Minnesota State Fair in order to finish her off, he discovers that he just may have gotten in over his head.
Joel’s writing has appeared in over five-dozen publications, with work appearing in such venues as Weird Tales, Amercian Road Magazine and the Minnesota mystery anthology Resort to Murder. He’s the author of the psychological suspense/horror novel Evelyn’s Drum, as well as three short story collections, all available for the Kindle.
