'The Jerusalem Puzzle' contest: Authonomy

You need to be a member of Authonomy to participate in the following
contest. If you're interested, go here to register:
http://authonomy.com/. Here's the contest:

'The Jerusalem Puzzle' Competition - your chance to be published
alongside
one of HarperCollins' most exciting new writers

We're looking for three talented authonomy authors whose short stories
will
be published in a special limited edition epub of 'The Jerusalem
Puzzle',
the second novel from Laurence O'Bryan.

This is an amazing opportunity for you to showcase your talent to
Laurence's audience. Moreover, the winning authors will be able to add
their social media details so that readers can discover more about
their
writing.

All you have to do is read the second chapter of 'The Jerusalem
Puzzle'.
Then, in no more than 500 words, tell us where you would take the
story
next - this can be in the form of a synopsis, or the opening of the
next
chapter.

The ten best entries will be given the chance to submit short stories
for
consideration. They will also get advanced ring-bound book proofs of
'The
Jerusalem Puzzle'.

At the start of December, three overall winners will be selected to be
published in the special edition Jerusalem Puzzle e-book next June.

If that wasn't enough, all these short stories will also be considered
for
full publication by HarperCollins editor. So what are you waiting for?
Get
reading, authonomites!

The second chapter is on the blog now:
http://harpercollinsnews.co.uk/go.asp?/bCOL002/q3EOZV8F/xLDP9W8F
