We have a winner!!
There were ten absolutely brilliant short stories entered into the competition to win a signed first edition hardback copy of the third Joe Hunter thriller - Slash and Burn - all of which you can still read over at http://joehuntersfixers.blogspot.com/
All ten were superb and I'm glad that I put the voting out to the readers instead of having to choose one out of the bunch. Nevertheless, there could be only one.
Drumroll please..........
And the Winner is A LONG TIME COMING by Paul Grzegorzek.
Congratulations to Paul on a fast moving, thriller story that everyone agrees is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks to everyone who entered, and to everyone who read, commented and voted on their fave.
Well done Paul. Congrats and great to meet you at Matt's book launch. Congrats to all that entered.
ReplyDeleteRegards, David.
Hey, Paul. It was great to be with you (drinking!) at the launch to congratulate you in person on a well deserved success.
ReplyDeleteRegards,

Ta chaps. The only slight cloud over the evening was discussing Col's "alone time" habits, other than that, it was a great night!
ReplyDelete*Shudder*
ReplyDeleteThat's ma boy! Well done, matey!
ReplyDeletePaul,
ReplyDeleteI resemble that remark!
So when are you coming out?
Col
Paul - I posted congrats on Matt's page but why not here, too!
ReplyDelete"WELL DONE!"
(am really jealous of your writing talent - I'd try the pins-in-wax-effigy trick, but it didn't work on David B either....)
Just remember us when you're rich and famous! (well, when you're rich anyway.....and mine's a pint, tah!)
Thanks all, really appreciated, and your support and encouragement makes it all worthwhile! Col - when you say when am i coming out, are you referring to going for a drink or asking if i'm gay? :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you're mad as a hatter, it dunt really matter, but I meant the latter.
ReplyDeleteWell rhymed, you must be a poet but unaware of the fact...
ReplyDeleteI once won a poetry comp... there was only me entered.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paul. A worthy winner.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Paul. I'm really pleased for you.
