Following are the deets on a great contest that started June 4th and runs through July 4th. It's on a site called Inkitt (inkitt.com). My next blog will tell you all about this great writing community, but I wanted to first share info about this contest. I've already submitted a story, so why don't you shoot one over? Did I just say 'shoot'? Well, it IS a mystery/thriller themed contest after all!
The link directly to the contest is here where you can submit your entry. The entries also appear, so give them a read, vote for your favorites, and/or pen a review or two.
Get your fingers primed and ready to pounce on that keyboard, let yourself slip over to the Dark Side, and pump out some mysterious and thrilling tales of murder, deceit, and maybe even a double-cross or two.
From their site:
