The Ploughman's Second Tale - A Medieval Mystery

The Beast

I'm currently working on a 'Friar Ted' Canterbury Tale, narrated by Chaucer's Ploughman.

Friar Ted is a sleuthing medieval monk and has much in common  with Sherlock Holmes. In fact, the plot to my latest story has several parallels with The Hound of the Baskervilles.

So far I've introduced all the important characters, lined up the suspects and given them motives. Now all I have to do is finish the thing before two submission deadlines are upon me - no small task considering I'd expected the Tale to take less than a month, yet it's likely to stretch to two.

Back to the grind!

Below are links to my Canterbury Tale published by Coscom Entertainment, my most recent Global Short Story Competition winner and my short-listed story for the National newspaper, Abu Dhabi's, annual short story competition:
