Col Bury's Crime Fiction Choice... with a twist!

This time I've chosen my top five shorts from 2010, but the punchy reviews aren't here. Why? Chris Rhatigan kindly invited me to join his series, 'My Top Five for 2010', over at his cool blog, Death by Killing. So I thought, 'Two birds, one stone...' 'n' all that. They're all crackers, I promise - the link is below my choices.

Col Bury's Crime Fiction Choice #13 - THE WATCHER by A.J. Humpage

Col Bury's Crime Fiction Choice #14 - CARPACCIO by Lily Childs

Col Bury's Crime Fiction Choice #15 - AN URBAN MYTH by David Barber

My year is certainly going great at the minute. Something shitty is going to happen just to spoil it.....like Man City winning the Premiership!!! Ha!!!

Seriously, Col, thanks loads for picking my story. I, like others have said before me, am proud to be in your top 5 with such great writers.

Respect!

Col, you have chosen some fantastic stories. I know everyone is pleased that you took the time to do this.

I was pleased when Paul Brazill chose my story, that was published by you at TKnC.

Mike / Chad,
Thanks. I'm glad I chose some that you may have missed - that was the whole idea.

Dave, I've had a few so I'll try 'n' temper this... f*ck it, you've had a fantastic start to the new year 'n' am so very proud of 'n' chuffed for you, mate.

Lil,
Your story was unique, well written 'n' stood out.

Jeanette,
Nice of you to say that. 'What's in the Cellar?' was a belting story that I enjoyed immensely.

Regards,
Col

Ps. Any typos? Six pints of Guinness say there must be...! :)
