UPDATE: The contest is closed. See the winning name here.
It’s been a while since I did a giveaway, so it must be time to do something fun.
The prize?
We’ll do two $25 gift certificates. The winners can choose from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or iTunes. (I’d add Smashwords in there, but I don’t think they have a gift certificate option?) You can also choose to forgo the $25 and receive paperbacks of Books 1 & 2 in my Emperor’s Edge series.
What do you have to do to enter? Suggest a name for a character.
I’m writing the fourth Emperor’s Edge book, and it looks like one of the core characters, Maldynado, doesn’t have a surname yet. I gave Maldynado a first and middle name (Maldynado Montichelu) in Book 1, but I’m hunting through my notes, and I don’t think I’ve given his family name yet (he was disowned and doesn’t have the right to use it). One of his brothers will appear in Book 4, so it’s time to find out what Maldynado’s last name is.
For those who haven’t read the books, the family is warrior-caste (aristocrats), and those people’s names end in -crest. (i.e. Hollowcrest, Bocrest, Starcrest)
To enter the giveaway contest, simply leave a comment below with a character name suggestion.
Whoever has the name that gets picked (I may appeal to you guys again to help choose between favorites) will win a gift certificate, and then I’ll pick a random participant for a second certificate. (As long as you leave a comment, you’ll be entered for that.)
Let’s let the contest run for a week, so until Saturday the 21st. And, yes, you can submit multiple suggestions.
Okay, have at it, all. Remember, I need a name that ends in -crest!

I realize that I’m a tad late for the time parameters of the contest. Regardless of my ineligibility to win, I just discovered the contest and I simply *must* post because of the nature of the subject matter. I mean, it’s for Maldynado’s sake, right? 😀

… I have assuaged my conscience. Thank you.
Applecrest, Saddlecrest, Ironcrest, Stormcrest,
Thanks for the entries, everyone! I’ll be reading through these soon and posting the winners. 🙂
Oh shoot, did I miss my chance? That’s what I get for being caught up in schoolwork, haha!
Good luck to all who submitted!
