My first novel, When We Were One, is complete!

And now, my first contest is afoot!

The quick and dirty…

In a single page explain the purpose of Nzingha in the story. Additionally, what does she represent to not only the parthonites, but to the world? What does she represent to you?

The judges will be looking at grammar, originality in conceptualization, and clarity. Your piece must be based on facts in the story together with your unique thoughts on the story ideas as they pertain to Nzingha.

The contest opens March 13, 2009 at midnight.
