🏆 Exciting News! I'm thrilled to share that I've won the inaugural Bet Tuppi Near Eastern Historical Fiction Prize! 📚 In this video, I express my gratitude to Matthew Parks and the judges for this incredible honor. As a historical fiction writer immersed in the Akkadian empire, winning a competition centered on ancient Sumer holds special significance.

Join me as I delve into the backstory of my winning story, "Mother of Words," which revolves around Enheduanna, the first known poet in history. She was the daughter of King Sargon of Akkad, and her poetic prowess played a crucial role in unifying Sumer under her father's rule.

I'll be reading the story aloud for those who enjoy listening, and you can find the written version below for those who prefer reading. If you're intrigued by historical fiction and the captivating world of ancient Sumer, this is for you!
