new story

I have just completed a new short story, The Whitby Ripper, mostly a police detective tale until the end, with a double-whammy ending.

I may have completed it, but I may not have finished it yet. I will give it a few days. maybe longer and come at it fresh and see if it needs a re-edit or any embellishing.

I will not submit this yet, as this is intended as the first of a themed collection of tales. I would have finished this weeks ago, except my father died. Fortunately, only the ending needed doing and I had mapped out the ending in my head first. It was the lead up to the end which I had to work on, and that was mostly finished before my father died.

A deep breath and on to the next one.
