Have you ever wanted to see your name in a published book or short story? Well now's your chance. I've decided that before I concentrate on writing the next installment in the Detective Kate Springer series, I will write a short story that has been haunting me for months. It's called My Blue Nightmare, and it will be the first short story in a boxed set that I'm eventually going to create once at least three stories are finished. I'm already on chapter 3 of My Blue Nightmare so I really need a suggestion for a name that would fit one of my characters!

To enter the 3rd Annual Name a Character Contest, just sign up for my author newsletter. In the form's bottom field suggest the name you'd like to see used in my story. Give me a first name, last name, or both, your name, parent's name or dog's name—it doesn't matter, just suggest a name. I'll post the winning entry on my Facebook page, on my website, and in an upcoming author newsletter.

During the 2nd Annual Name a Character contest held for my latest novel, Splintered, the winning name was Lily Eastin entered by Jennifer Schusterman. I loved the name Lily Eastin so much, she became the major character of the protagonist's mom.

The contest is running now until March 12, 2016. Good luck everyone!
