Want a novel dedicated to you...and a character with your first name?

I NEED YOUR HELP...and I'm offering something in return.

I have a nameless, abandoned baby boy in an upcoming novel. (This book is still in the planning stages, so it'll be a while before it's actually in print - just a heads up. Publishing can be a slow process. ) My heroine finds the infant, but since she has no idea what his name is, she and the hero fall into the habit of calling him "the little guy" - which soon turns into Little Guy. I like the way that works...on the surface. Problem is, Guy just doesn't seem plausible as a name for a baby in today's world. So...yep, I need a name for my "little guy."

If I use your suggestion, I will use YOUR FIRST NAME for a secondary character in that same novel, AND I will dedicate the novel to you. Sound like fun?

Here are the rules:

1. "LIKE" MY FACEBOOK AUTHOR PAGE . (If you've already liked it, that's OK, you've already taken care of Step 1. )

2. SHARE THIS POST on your Facebook timeline and tag me (@DeliaLatham) so I'll know you took Step #2 (and/or TWEET about it and tag me on Twitter - @DeliaLatham).

3. SEND YOUR SUGGESTIONS for a name for the little guy to: DLathamWrites AT yahoo DOT com. Please put "LITTLE GUY" in the subject field so I won't overlook your entry.

That's it. I'll take suggestions through August 31st, and if I receive a suggestion that blows me away, I'LL ANNOUNCE IT ON MY FACEBOOK AUTHOR PAGE, sometime during the first week of September - along with the winner's name. If I receive duplicate suggestions for the winning name, the winner will be first person who suggested that name.

Have fun naming the little guy - and be sure to spread the word!
