Welcome to the day’s round up of bloggers posts I have enjoyed and that I hope you find interesting. The ones I have selected today are relevant to books and blogs.. From competitions to landmark sales of books and scammers out to get what is not theirs! Plus a short story from the Queen of Flash fiction.. Teresa Karlinski.

Bette A Stevens with the news of a free to enter short story competition. Competitions are a great way to get started if you would like practice and a showcase for your writing. I entered quite a few back in the early days when you had to submit double-spaced hard copies with a fiver enclosed for the entry fee. After a couple of good comments it gave me the confidence to write for a larger audience. Even seasoned writers enjoy the chance to showcase shorter pieces than their full-length novels.
