Publisher's Synopsis
Rising Tiger features 65 mystery stories from young writers living in the Huon Valley, Tasmania, and beyond.
Each year, the Terror Australis Readers and Writers Festival in the Huon Valley offers a Mystery Short Story Competition for young writers to age 16.
Entries arrive from across Tasmania, every state in Australia, and from as far afield as New Zealand, and Georgia (the country).
The young writers' stories are entertaining, twisty and fun. They make life rather difficult for the judges.
This book contains the winning stories from 2019 to 2022, along with a range of other stories selected by the competition's convenor, Dr L J M Owen.
The themes of the stories from these years were:
2019 - Female Bushrangers
2020 - Female Detectives
2021 - Scene of the Crime
2022 - Agatha Christie in Tasmania
