Thinking about entering our short story competition?

Quite right too! After all, you’ve seen the prizes.

To inspire and motivate you, we’re asking the Bloody Scotland authors to contribute guest posts on short story writing, Q&As, and even their own short stories. You’ll find this goodness week by week on the Glengoyne blog right here. Glengoyne, as you know, are sponsoring this competition.

This week, Clio Gray has contributed a cracking crime story called Always Keep Your Shovel Sharp. Next week, she’ll give you her top ‘how to’ tips ‘n’ tricks of the trade.

Thanks Clio!

PS If you missed it, you will also find Len Wanner’s Short Guide to Writing a Short Story over on Glengoyne (parts 1, 2 and 3)
