I'm not here to enter your contest, but I just wanted to say that I'm REALLY eager to read your book, Antigoddess now after discovering its a play on Cassandra from Greek myth.
The reason being is... Back in college, I had to analyze a poem in relations to its poet. Mine was entitled "Cassandra" by Louise Bogan. With research, I learned all about Cassandra. How she was given the gift of sight by Apollo, and because she didn't favor him, she was cursed with no one believing her crys (i.e the fall of Troy.)
You probably didn't need to hear all that story again :), but Cassandra was a part of my life, so I think the concept of Goddess War sounds A+!
If you don't know or maybe curious about that Louise Bogan poem, it goes:
To me, one silly task is like another.
I bare the shambling tricks of lust and pride.
This flesh will never give a child its mother,-
Song, like a wing, tears through my breast, my side,
And madness chooses out my voice again,
Again. I am the chosen no hand saves:
The shrieking heaven lifted over men,
Not the dumb earth, wherein they set their graves.
