In the interests of promoting literary excellence it has been decided to hold a competition.

Between ourselves I’m not entirely sure how this came about, but still it seems an excellent idea, no matter who thought it up.

On March 3^rd I published the blog post, ‘The Estuary Road’

Those who read the story commented that whilst Tallis had come up with two different solutions to the mystery of the disappearing tower, they felt that there were other possible solutions.

Given the number of excellent writers who tend to read my poor tales, it is entirely possible that they can look at the evidence Tallis discovered and explain to us what really happened.

So I place in front of you a challenge. Read the story ’The Estuary Road.’ Weigh the evidence and produce your own reason for the disappearance of the Vilingsthorne tower.

What you must remember is…
