Wanna be in my book?

Sometimes I run out of creativity when it comes to picking character names. After all, that’s why three of my male leads have names that rhyme (Aiden, Daemon, and Hayden), or I write about three brothers that all have names that start with ‘C’ (Chad, Chase, and Chandler).

Picking female names for characters is even harder for me, especially since I tend to lead toward names that can be abbreviated into male names for some odd reason.

So I thought I would let you–one of the readers–pick the name for an upcoming book I’m going to write. Of course, whoever submitted the name would get an extra special shout out in the acknowledgements and once this book is sold (yes, this is a new book that has not been contracted),  the person who submitted the name would be one of the first people to get an extra special print ARC of said book.

So here are some general guidelines and what not:

You can suggest any first and last name–must be both.
You can submit YOUR name. If you do submit your name, you are giving permission for me to use your name in the book.
Needs to be a girls name.  I already have the boys name.
All you have to do is leave your submission in the comments on THIS blog post–not Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, my chalkboard, email or any other form.

My assistant and I will pick a name. You have until this Saturday (March 22nd, 2014) 11:59pm EST to submit the name.

Basically, if you submit your own name and it gets picked, you virtually get to be the main character in my book.
