I’m absolutely delighted to announce that my Short Story ‘Smithereens’ was longlisted for the Over the Edge New Writer of the Year award. You can view the longlist here.
It’s my third time entering the competition but first time making it this far, which goes to show: “try again, fail again, fail better.” It’ll all work out someday. The shortlist is announced in October. All my fingers are crossed waiting for it (making typing incredibly difficult). “Smithereens” is a funny story is based on a series of true events that happened to my uncle’s Austin A40 Farina, involving a murder, a rising tide and the IRA.
