Marpellette Manor - mystery long weekend

about 1 year ago Empress 561 posts	Easter is only a week away and while we’re looking forward to days off and other good things … how about balancing all the chocolate with a bit of crime? It’s a murder mystery weekend Bubble style: Good Friday: check HERE for the Golden Age of Crime inspired components to weave into your tale of mayhem and secrets Easter Monday: post your story by midnight (your time zone) and link it to this post No prizes, just a time limit (one of those crime writing traits) and maybe a new genre for you to explore.
