Enough of this namby-pamby girlie nonsense (I'm joking, of course), Court TV is running a contest to find the Next Great Crime Writer.

The judges include crime authors Faye Kellerman, Jonathan Kellerman and Lisa Scottoline (watch her welcome message on the site - frightened me out of my wits), and the prize is a book deal with Regan (an imprint of HarperCollins).

Sadly (for us Brits) it's only open to US residents over the age of 18 and the closing date is November 27th. [via MediaBistro]
