As you can see in the post "Michael Burke, mystery writer," Michael has a detective novel out this fall entitled Swan Dive. In celebration of its publication, he proposes the following contest for KB Journal members:

"to write a one page analysis (serious or otherwise) of Swan Dive using KB's terms and methodology. And then for penance I would leave a bottle of Vodka by KB's grave."

We here add the following "contest rules":
1) All entrees must be no longer than 500 words.
2) All entrees must be submitted by email to Elizabeth Weiser, Happenings editor, at weiser.23@osu.edu. Put "Swan Dive" in the subject line if you don't want it to get lost.
3) All entrees must be submitted by April 30, 2010.

KB Journal editors will choose the best entries and then forward the final group on to Michael, who will declare a winner and leave the vodka in their name.

Good luck, and may the best Burkean win!
