STORNOWAY Writers’ Circle member Tristan ap Rheinallt has won a national 50-word crime writing competition, which was judged by bestselling crime writer Sophie Hannah.
The competition, which was held locally at Stornoway Library, was part of a special promotion for Ruth Rendell’s latest collection of short stories, A Spot of Folly (Profile Books).
One of Rendell’s stories in the collection is a chilling 50-word ghost story and so participants at the promotional events were invited to write their own 50- word crime stories.
