• The Chase for a name. . .


    You guys are the best. A while ago (click here for the post) I asked for your help in choosing a name for my hero.

    I had a list of potential names, but didn’t know which one I should use. So, I put up a poll for a few days and you guys spoke up.

    The name chosen was: CHASE!

    Now, if I could only think of a title….

    Just kidding. That’ll come.

    I’m deep in the edits of this novel and one of my other ones (Jayden and Trinity’s story). So, once they’re both a little more tightened up, I’ll throw the “Back Cover Blurbs” up here on the blog and see what you all think of some title choices.

    If you’re a writer, I’m curious, how do you come up with character names?

  • The Chase for a name. . .


    Okay, take a gander at the list of potential HERO names on white poll in the left sidebar here.

    <—— See it?

    I know, there are a lot of names to choose from.

    Have you voted yet?

    If not, please do.

    I need a name for the hero of my newest WIP (Work In Progress for the non-writers reading this post.)

    The story is so raw right now, I don’t even have a working title, let alone a nice little blurb to tell you about it.

    But, the characters are in their early twenties and in college. It’s a paranormal romance so obviously I’m gonna hook these two up (and throw a few obstacles in, ripping them apart–oh, then maybe getting them back together **insert EVIL laugh here**)

    So far, Chase is in the lead, and, so far, he’s my favorite choice.

    So weigh in, okay? Or maybe you think all of the choices stink. Leave me a comment. I’d love to hear from ya!

    Maybe soon the story will be polished enough to post a blurb about it–course then I’d need a title. Who knows, you might see another poll up later helping me decide which title I want. **smile**

  • VILLAINS


    vampires-red-eyed
    Wow. You answered my call for help with villain names for my newest project.

    For a quick summary of what the book is about, see the summary of the first novel by clicking here.

    The rough description of the villian I gave in my last post was:

    I need a crazy-wicked-cool name for this nasty Demon. It’s early in my character sketching, but so far this is what I have: He’s a he…LOL…, wicked huge-somewhere around 6″5 with muscles busting shirt seams. Carmel-colored skin. He leads a pack of demons/vampires bent on avenging something Jake and Emma did in book one (can’t say what…just know this demon is WAY ticked off). Oh, and he’s only 25 years old-so that means his birthday was around 1984, or so.

    I love names that are unique and have some sort of meaning behind them. So hey, leave your suggestions in the comments (either on FaceBook or here). If I choose yours, I’ll contact you with a list of three books to choose from as a prize. So, be sure to leave your contact email address if you leave a name idea.

    Well, between Facebook and this blog, you suggested a bunch. Which ones do you like the best? Weigh in through the comments. Once I decide if I’m gonna use one, I’ll contact the winner with a list of prizes to choose from (all books).
