Newman’s anthology appearances cover a wide range of mystery and speculative fiction projects. Malice Domestic 5 was part of the long-running series tied to the annual mystery convention celebrating traditional crime fiction, while The Sunken Sailor brought together crime writers around a shared maritime theme. Thou Shalt Not Kill collected stories around the commandments as a framework, and Death’s Excellent Vacation gathered paranormal mystery fiction.
The later entries include Tales of the Shadowmen 7: Femmes Fatales, a French adventure pulp anthology, and Stop the World: Snapshots from a Pandemic, which collected short fiction written during and about the COVID-19 period. The range reflects Newman’s willingness to write outside her main medieval setting when the project interested her.
