Cozy Case Files & Anthologies

Wallace's work has been featured in several volumes of the Cozy Case Files series published by St. Martin's Paperbacks. These are free digital samplers designed to give readers preview chapters of upcoming cozy mystery releases. They do not contain exclusive novellas or short stories by Wallace, so they can be skipped by readers looking only for full-length narratives.
