Alumna Publishes Novel: Loris Nebbia '95, English, MA '99

English alumna Loris Nebbia ’95 has published her first novel, Solomon’s Puzzle. A modern-day take of an age-old Bible tale, an excerpt of the 700-page book won the Maryland Writers’ Association’s 2010 prize for short fiction. (Nebbia also earned a master’s degree from UMBC in 1999.)

In an interview with the Annapolis Capital newspaper, Nebbia said writing a novel was a “dream come true.”
