‘The Property Of A Gentleman’ …………….. by Catherine Gaskin

About half of the ninety-three passengers, those in the tail section, of the flight out of Zurich bound for Paris and London survived when the plane ploughed into a mountainside shortly after takeoff. Among those killed was a Junior British Cabinet Minister, half of a Dutch football team, an antique dealer from London by the name of Vanessa Roswell, and a man, presumed to be a Dutchman, whose body no one came to claim, and whose passport the authorities, after close examination, found to be forged.

GREAT NEWS FOR ALL YOU BUDDING ‘AUTHORS IN WAITING’ OUT THERE!

The Property Of A Gentleman’ is a tale of intrigue, mystery and romance, set in a fictional earl’s ancestral home, in the dramatic landscape of England’s Lake District (click on the book image for a full synopsis). To celebrate that this modern classic by the bestselling “Queen of Storytellers” has recently been reissued by Corazon Books in ebook format, in time to celebrate its 40th anniversary and is the first of Catherine Gaskin’s novels to be published digitally, Corazon Books has partnered with the Historic Houses Association to launch a special short story competition with fantastic prizes. Writers are invited to submit a short story which is either inspired by or set in a historic house.

Corazon Books also plans to publish an ebook anthology of the best entries, with each writer receiving royalties for their published story.

Entry details can be found here, at the books dedicated website … so get writing and Good Luck to all who decide to enter.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
