Who can tell me which story has O’Henry-esque elements?

The Coin -- "A suspenseful, sexy romantic thriller ... a page-turner."

~ Kirkus Reviews

The Book of Hours -- "This is a real mix of romance, crime, and suspense, full of mystery, everything a great story needs. Fantastic story, really well-written and gripping."

~ Readers' Favorite

The Fish Tank: And Other Short Stories -- "A gracefully-written, varied collection of entertaining, touching, suspenseful, and thought-provoking short stories. Maria Elena skillfully paints rich scenes and crafts interesting characters. Her prose is vivid and distinct. You will not want to miss this collection!"

~ NY Literary Magazine

Hanging Softly in the Night: A Detective Nick Larson Novel -- "Alonso-Sierra has crafted a story that is equally intriguing and chilling, with unexpected developments, set in New York City. As more murders crop up, appearing as suicide deaths, the plot becomes more riveting, with sharp-witted characters, backstories, and an unraveling case that keeps you turning one page after another..."
