Welcome to another instalment of my Friday Fiction competition! 

I’m on a mission to get my followers to take a break from their hectic lives and get reading… and writing!

Every Friday between 7am & 9pm, all you need to do is follow me (@pollycourtney) and retweet any of my #FridayFiction tweets or include #FridayFiction in a tweet to me, and you could be in with a chance of winning a fantastic prize….

This week I’m celebrating the anniversary of the publication of my third book, The Day I Died. This week’s lucky winner of the #FridayFiction competition will receive not only a signed copy of The Day I Died, but also the chance to join me at a workshop on Self Publishing, to talk about how you might make your own book a reality.

PLEASE NOTE: The Workshop is being run on Monday 13th May, 19:00 – 21:30pm at:

So don’t forget to tune in every Friday (7am – 9pm) and just ‘follow&RT’ to be in with a chance of winning! This weeks lucky winner will be announced on Sunday Evening.
