Updated January 10th with winners names…<\/em><\/p>\n

Turns out I needed more names than I thought I did, so I’ve chosen the top two bunches that were sent, and each winner will receive their prizes and get tuckerized!<\/p>\n

Will and Melany, I’ll be emailing you later today… congratulations!<\/em>
\n
\nI know what’s in a name… for the right person, it could be:<\/p>\n

– a copy of Ante Mortem
\n – a copy of Courting Morpheus
\n – being Tuckerized in my current WiP<\/p>\n

Want to know how that’ll happen? Well – right now I need several surnames for my WiP. The person who enters the names I feel are right for my characters will win the above prizes. I know they’re not much, but they’re something… and come on, this’ll be fun!<\/p>\n

Everyone can enter – it’s the names I’ll ‘feel out’ as right. Here are the details, or as many as I can give right now, anyway.<\/p>\n

Irish – 3
\nEnglish – 3
\nWelsh – 1
\nRussian Mennonite – 2
\nFrench – 1<\/p>\n

The setting for this story is 1945-2012 Canadian mid-to-western provinces, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Oregon. Only one English name is required for the US states.<\/p>\n

Contest ends Friday, and I’ll choose sometime over the weekend.<\/p>\n

(btw, if it helps with the Welsh name at all, the character bears a striking resemblance to Victor Perez circa Swept From the Sea)<\/em><\/p>\n

Edited to add: email your suggestions to jodi@jodilee.ca with Surname Contest in the subject. <\/p>\n

Good luck, and thanks! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
