Name The Book Contest – Winner gets a character named after them!

Just look at this lovely couple!  As a result of everything I learned at this week’s online writer’s conference, IndieReCon, I’ve decided to work on my contemporary romance book first and follow with my middle-grade book at a later date.  I have the story outline completed and several chapters done, and these are what I picture my main characters to look like.  British actor Henry Cavill (Superman, The Tudors, The Count of Monte Cristo) would make an awesome Greg Manning; and actress Katie Homes (Dawsons Creek, The Kennedys) is the perfect vision of my main character, Audrey Dixon.

But I’m totally stuck on a title for my book, and need your help— therefore, I’m holding a week-long contest to come up with an awesome title, and have given a short description of the book to help fuel the imagination.  Comment as many times as you wish – I’m looking for something spectacular! If I use your title  (which becomes part of my copyright of my book and  I reserve the right to modify if necessary) the person who came up with it will get to have a character in my book named for them! You can use your own name (first name only), or any pseudonym you choose.

Name The Book

… and have a character named for you!

Greg Manning

Greg Manning

Audrey’s a beautiful, introverted writer who just wants to get over a bad relationship and concentrate on writing her new novel. Greg is the sexy, extroverted owner of a ranch for underprivileged teens. He’s determined to win Audrey’s heart; and even though she’s sworn off men for at least a year to finish her book, Audrey just can’t resist Greg’s abundant charms. Their love blossoms in spite of the obstacles fate throws in their path — but the secrets they are both keeping could destroy their chance for true love and a lasting relationship.

  1. Hmmm – perhaps I should add a little information … The story takes place in a little town called “Whitfield”, although I haven’t completely worked out where that will be – in Canada, though. There is a lovely lake where Audrey lives; and Greg lives on a ranch that has animals, including horses, that he uses to work with the kids. Hopefully that will help the creative juices to flow … ’cause I’m looking for something really spectacular … and feel free to make as many suggestions as you like! xoxox

  2. This is tough, Julie, and these are probably silly, but…”Rescued Hearts” “Country Hearts” “Irresistible Ranch Hand” They’re all sounding like Harlequin! :) I can’t get away from “hearts”…still thinking though! The story sounds wonderful and I love his character of helping children on the ranch, he sounds irresistible and looks it, too! :) A book I know I would enjoy, since I love romances! ♥

  8. Hi Julie,
    got your comment, thank you very much for visiting me! I do read comments before posting, because spammers seem to like my blog, I have to delete all those messages about vacationing on the Canary Islands and such :-)
