Peter Rozovsky of Detectives Beyond Borders is an all round fabulous guy who is a genuine delight to be around. This is what happens when you give this crime fiction loving art aficionado lots of gin and a picture frame.

Closing 20th February 2016
The Readers Digest 100 word story competition.
Closing 4th March 2016
The CrimeFest, Bristol Flash Bang Competition.
Closing 14th March 2016
The Mslexia Womens Short Story Competition
It’s all go on the competition front this week. Today it’s the turn of the 2016 Flash Bang competition run by CrimeFest Bristol.
Can you commit a crime story in just 150 words?
‘A shot rang out’ is four words, but it packs a hell of a punch. Flash fiction is the art of surprise, illumination, punch.
Think short fuse, short-arm, Get Shorty. Did you know ‘flash in the pan’ originated with the priming of guns? And flashnotes are counterfeit notes… We could go on, but we won’t, because we’re big on brevity. Surprise us. Burn us. Write us. Whatever you do, do it in a flash.
Bang bang, you’re read.
It costs just £2 per entry and the first prize is a PAIR (yes a pair) of weekend passes to CrimeFest 2017 (access to all interviews, panels and receptions, exc. accommodation, dinner, travel) with runner up prizes of a single weekend pass to CrimeFest 2017, followed by a CrimeFest goodie bag. On top of all that, those on the shortlist will be invited to attend the Crime Writing Day on Friday 20 May 2016, when the winners will be announced.
Think you’re up for it? Why not give it a go, after all 150 words…… how hard can it be? 😉
Entries need to be submitted by 4th March 2016, and full details of prizes and how to enter can be found here
Have fun and Good Luck!

Taking Place from the 15th – 18th May at the Marriott Royal Hotel, Bristol, UK.
With a whopping 50+ events (be prepared to make some tough decisions over what you attend) scheduled over the four days, it’s an action packed four days with plenty of time for author interaction.
It’s where I will be from Friday morning, until Sunday lunchtime. If you are heading there come look me up, if I’m not in a panel you’ll most probably find me in the bar. I’ll be the one in the hat. Come say hello.
