To
celebrate my second published novel, I am holding my first ever contest. Depending
on how it goes, there may be more to come. The
winner gets a free, autographed, first print edition of So Many Secrets and the
chance to name a character in the second novel of my Northman trilogy.
Contest
Rules:
1. You get to pick a baby name! That’s fun, right?
There are just a two caveats:
2. It must be a male name.
3. It must be correct to Scandinavia during the period
500AD-1000 AD. The novels are set between 816 and 820 AD, but I like to give
myself leeway.
4. That’s it. I will check on the historical
accuracy of the names. I do not claim to be 100% accurate all of the time, but
to make this a little more difficult and to keep my writing in line, I don’t
want this to be an anachronism. I will choose the name I like best. It’s going
to be strictly a matter of taste, so please don’t assume you didn’t pick a
perfectly lovely name if you do not win.
