Mystery Judge

Picture of the Day for January 9, 2017. This is my third year of being a judge for the Florida Mystery Writers of America's annual writing competition where prospective authors submit the first 20 pages of their novel. Just got done with the last of the six entries I was asked to review. Lots of strong candidates. I wanted to know what happened after the 20-page excerpts in most instances. There was only one where the story was too convoluted to follow.
