To celebrate the publication of The Beach Hut, I’m delighted to announce a short story competition in association with the Walter Henry Bookshop in Bideford and The North Devon Journal.

For a chance to win a beach bag full of summer reads from Orion Books, Walter Henry book tokens and your story published in the North Devon Journal, write a story of no more than 500 words set in a beach hut.

The winner will be announced at The Orchard Hill Hotel, Bideford on Wednesday 28 July 2010, 7 – 9.30pm, where I will also be reading from The Beach Hut and doing a short story workshop. Please come and join us for cream teas and cupcakes!

About peter

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me. When I was very small (maybe 3 or 4 years old) my grandfather, who lost the sight of one eye from a bullet fired by a German sniper (fortunately not a very good one) during the Battle of the Somme in World War 1, wiped my face with the corner of his apron, an apron he had used to wipe his filleting knife on. He was a grocery shopkeeper who specialized in wet fish.
