About

It must take place in a beach locale.

We are looking for noir/neo-noir. Crime, capers, detective stories, and mysteries are all a good fit. Literary stories work as well provided it contain the requisite subject matter.

We always appreciate a surfer or water-related person (life guards, sea captains, etc) as a character.
