Caroline I love contests! Let me know when the next short story sets way.
It's a great way to get started. Do short stories sell well for authors?

At the moment we seem to have to put a lot of effort in, to get the short stories noticed. Being a new author is very difficult, as you are an unknown and if you work full time like I do it takes a great deal of time and effort. Hopefully it will pay off in the end? It was great fun to begin with but this weekend I was a little disheartened. My brother and Sister-in-law are great though and offered me a lot of support. Hope to be back on track real soon. Happy Writing :-)
