Ah, cozy mysteries -- those wonderful oh-so-English mysteries, where tea and toast are sipped and nibbled, there's a cameo by a vicar, and the corpses are as neat and tidy as the gardens. Such fun to read and so satisfying, since the guilty party is generally someone who richly deserves being caught and convicted.
Ah, but have you ever written one? If so, now's your chance to get published! Minotaur Books is holding a
best first mystery competition. Hop on over and give it a shot.
(Note: If I didn't know better, I'd suspect
shiv5468 of having authored that book shown on the left under a nom de plume, because hey, peacocks!)
