It’s publication day today for Mavis Braithwaite Strikes Again, Wordsworth Short #40.
This story originally started out as Shampoo, Set and Match, and it was written for a crime writing competition. I rushed it, to meet the deadline, but it wasn’t properly finished and, needless to say, it didn’t get placed.
Fast-forward a few months, and we were given the prompt ‘contract’ at Deadlines for Writers for 12 Stories in 12 Months, and a word-count of 2,500 words exactly. I thought Mavis would suit it perfectly and rewrote it, complete with new title.
Hopefully, a new series character was also born.

Happy Publication Day!
Thank you!
