The Booktown Writers Third Annual Short Story Competition is now open for entries.
Crime Writer Michael J Malone ( main picture) will be judging ,

His debut novel, Blood Tears was released in 2012, followed by A Taste for Malice in June ’13. His book about modern day successful Scots, Carnegie’s Call was published in October 2012 and his most recent release is The Guillotine Choice.
