It is out of those top five finalists that Regan Taylor (our next guest author) will pick a winner and PERSONALLY ANNOUNCE them during the live chat on June 19th!!!! CONTEST OPTIONS: Pick ONE of the below options. **Option One- If you coul time travel to meet anyone from history who would you want to meet? Why? Please express your answer in the form of a poem, essay (one page or less), or a short story (three pages or less). **Option Two-You are gazing at a trickling stream when something shiny catches your eye. You reach into the stream and pull out a strange spherical object. Suddenly, the bizzarre device in your hand starts to heat up and emit a blinding beam of blue light, causing you to drop the sphere and shield your eyes. When you unshield your eyes you realize you've time traveled to the future. What happens next? What do you see? Do you meet anyone? What are they like? Are there robots? Please express your creativity in a poem, scene, or short story (three pages or less). PRIZES: The winner of the contest will, along with being personally announced by Regan Taylor via live chat on June 19th, receive a copy of Regan's newly released ebook The Photograph and will also receive a free ticket to publish a piece of their choice as an ebook to promote to a larger and more diverse audience!!!
