“The Beautiful Unfaithfuls” (by Olive-Ann Tynan)

“The Beautiful Unfaithfuls” (by Olive-Ann Tynan) | SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN: Olive-Ann Tynan debuted in EQMM’s Department of First Stories in 2013 with the story “A Case of Harassment.” Her second story, “Accessory to Murder,” appears in our upcoming February issue. Both stories are set in the author’s native Ireland, though she has not lived there for many years. She and her Italian husband live outside Rome and have two grown-up children. There she has worked as an editor for an English-language fortnightly paper and an Italian-language golf magazine. She is also a translator from Italian to English and she shares with us her thoughts on that art.—Janet Hutchings
