Last year, I ran a 'just for fun' Pirate Name contest when PLEASURING THE PIRATE hit the shelves. Readers from all over the world sent in their funniest, scariest, sexiest pirate names and we had a ball! Then I started thinking, why would a name contest have to be 'just for fun?' How about a contest where a reader can actually name an important character in my current WIP--STROKE OF GENIUS?
The yummy Fortin & Sanders pic above provides me with plenty of inspiration for my hero Crispin Hawke. Now I need your help in rounding out the character of his manservant and friend. And that starts with choosing the right name.
The reader who sends in the winning name will receive signed copies of all my backlist, including A CHRISTMAS BALL (which is coming out September 29th!)PLUS, they will receive a heartfelt "thank you" on the acknowledgment page of STROKE OF GENIUS.
Got your thinking cap on? Great! Click here for all the details and how to enter.
P.S. If you'd like to help me spread the word, you can grab the STROKE OF GENIUS widget code for your blog or myspace. Plus my inspiration for Crispin is highly decorative, don't you think? Thanks in advance!

I really love the Fortis & Sanders pics, do they have a website where I can see more of they're works??
Cool! I'm gonna do my best, even though I don't particularly need to win all your backlist (got them all so far, of course). and I'll tell my creative sister :)
What time period?

I haven't been able to find a website for Fortis & Sanders, but here is Lynn's blog. She shares about their process which I find fascinating. Tell her I sent you!

Oh, I so want to enter this contest, but I am abysmally bad at naming my own characters. *smacks head*
I love your picture you've dubbed "Crispin".
