Nice of you to come here to my site and advertise your novel anonymously and unsigned.
However... paying to have your book published isn't anywhere CLOSE to what this novel contest is about and you should know that. Your "recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal" was not sold to a publisher who vetted it, but you used Eloquent Books -- WARNING to all who read this message that you might want to check out what Writers Beware has to say about this operation and its various affiliates and aliases (http://www.sfwa.org/BEWARE/general.html#Literary): "We're not aware that the literary agency branch of the business has a significant track record of commercial book or script sales under any of its names." I fear that your agent may have led to this self-publisher, in which case you were grossly taken advantage of.
Sorry the scammers have latched onto you -- better luck next time.
