By day I'm a video game consultant, and I also volunteer at the German Shepherd Dog Welfare Fund - the charity that rescued the dog I adopted last year. I've also recently started compiling a website covering the history of the village I live, although I'm hoping to draw in some help for that project! Here is scratchpad when I need it, and a place for my personal projects. It's also an archive from back when this was was my writing blog.

Last Week to Enter July's Short Fiction Contest
We are entering the final week for you to enter July's short fiction contest. This month has proved to be one of the most popular so far with 40 entries already! I have been busy promoting the contest and even putting my money where my mouth is by purchasing some ads in various places. However the real secret to the success remains the writers that continue to enter the contest every month and to everyone who supports the contest by sharing the links. Your help is much appreciated and please continue to share the links and tell everyone you can.
If you haven't entered the contest yet then it's quite easy to do so. You first write a story of no more than 500 words based on this month's image. When the story is ready you can submit it through the contest page here:

There's no entry fee and you could win a £50 Amazon gift card or PayPal prize. There's second and third prizes as well. I'll also feature outstanding entries that don't make the final three on my blog.
The contest isn't just for writers, it's for readers too. The standard of the entries is very high which makes the winning stories a joy to read. If you don't believe me then take a look for yourself with June's winners:
