Delighted and greatly humbled to see my novel The Cocklemen among these 8 finalists.
Good luck to the other 7 writers reading their work.
I’m so looking forward to the tension we will be put through as everyone watching votes for their favourite and the overall winner is named.
What a night ahead.

#WriteCBC task from @gabriellegriffiths.bsky.social: Start with your character opening the door to a stranger. Use specific details to introduce this stranger and to hint at how their relationship might unfold. Do they trust each other? Will they fall in love? Or is disaster in their future?

#WriteCBC task from @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social: Let’s revisit a classic. You’ve gone to bed and turned off the light, and as you close your eyes, you feel a warm breath come upon your cheek. Your senses are fizzing. There is a new darkness swarming in the corner of your room. What happens next?

Act II - if anyone is interested in joining the 5 Act Festive Story, check out @cbcreative.bsky.social
Ella’s mother, Ann, stiffened and pulled out an embroidered hankie bearing the letter R to wipe her teary eyes.“An old friend.”
Ella gazed at the letter, trembling in her mother’s grasp.
“Why are they sorry?”
“For what they must do.” Her mother replied as the fire crackled.
