Disclaimer: Stories that are awarded with the Charani Award of Excellence are judged according to
content, concept, topic and the incorporation of either Ethnic characters or Religious Diversity and
nothing more. The awarding of this banner is purely subjective. All banners are linked to the sites

that you object to, please notify the authors, not me.

Her Sole Desire is an intriguing mystery reminiscent of the CSI genre. This thrilling story is filled
with twists and turns that keep the readers glued to the edge of their seat. HSD is a mystery that will
keep you spellbound. The portrayals of the Native and African American characters are flawless and
it is because of their inclusion, and the story's depths that I am giving it the Charani Award of
Excellence in Fiction for Ethnic Diversity for August 2003.

For the first time since giving the Charani Awards, we were faced with a real dilemma. Never before
have we come across two tales that cry out for attention and both by the same author. It is for that
reason that the award for September will be given to Nene Adams for her two tales, The Sunne in
Gold and its follow up tale, The Sunne in Scarlet. Both stories are filled with such excitement and
imagery that takes the breath away. This period piece not only has an intriguing plot and characters,
but it includes a Palestinian Muslim as a central figure. Because of this, the Charani Award for
Ethnic Diversity is given to Nene Adams for her two excellent tales.
