There was a competition on a newspaper website recently that asked people to try their hand at crime fiction. I fancy myself as a bit of a writer so I gave it a go.
The task was to provide the story that explained a crime scene, which was provided in sketch form, in only 50 words. It was a lot more difficult than it sounds, as there were 6 or 7 different clues in the picture and I have already used more than 50 words in this paragraph.
Anyway, I clearly did something right as I won the competition and the prize is a 3 night trip to Florence, including flights and a half-decent hotel.
Yay me!
I need to take the holiday before the end of April so will probably squeeze in between Miami in February and New York in April. Meanwhile, if any of my readers have been to Florence, do you have any recommendations?

Well done. :)
Haven't been to Florence myself, but I am pretty sure my mother has. Will solicit information, that is if she remembers anything.
