It's Monday and I have another contest for you all.
This Friday (January 16) is the deadline to email me your entries for the "Who is your favorite character from my books and why" contest. (Scroll down to last Monday's blog post for all the details and prizes).
Now to today's contest. As you all know, I'm writing
Bewitched & Betrayed right now (aka Raine Benares #4), and I need a name . . . for a bordello. Den of iniquity, house of ill-repute, cat house, fun farm -- call it what you will. I need a name for one. It's a very high-class establishment; in fact, it's the Isle of Mid's finest bordello. I could come up with a name on my own, but I thought it'd be fun to ask you all to chime in.
First a few rules:
1. I'd like the name to be no more than one or two words.
2. Considering that I have some young, impressionable readers, the name has to be fit for young ears. So use your creativity; park your dirty minds. Don't worry, Phaelan's got the dirty part covered. ; )
The prize? You'll be listed on the "Acknowledgments" page for
Bewitched & Betrayed for your creative, red-light district contribution. Don't worry, I'll phrase the acknowledgment so you can show it to your grandmother without embarrassment. Or if you don't care what anyone thinks, I'll have fun with it. But I will get your approval on the wording before it's printed. Email your entries to me by Friday, January 23. I'll announce the winner on the following Monday (January 26).
So have at it, folks. And have fun.
Lisa
BTW -- Thanks to the excellent tech support of Felicia Day,
I'm now on Twitter! Pop over and sign up to follow my Tweets. ; ) I'll be twittering several times a day.

Kudos to you for keeping your young readers in mind! I'll give it some thought.
I love it! Okay, I have to try, just because being acknowledged as a namer of bordellos would be, like, my life's crowning achievement. :)
How about Somebody's Bower, where Somebody is a god/goddess/famous person of your world? Although I may be thinking of a mall store, like Victoria's Secret. Or maybe The Fainting Couch, or The Withdrawing Room. Or, if you want it a little sillier, Show Me Yours, or just Show Me, or Peepshow. Or just Lace. or Unlaced. My God, I could do this all day! Oh well, there are some suggestions. Am I getting anywhere close to what you had in mind?
This is way more fun than working. :)
Thanks, Tia!
Hi K.C., LOL!! Tell you what, make a list and when you think you've got a final list, email them to me. That way I can keep a better track of entries. I didn't specify that in my blog, but I'll go back and do it now.
I wondered if I should post or email. I'll have fun making a list today and I'll email it when I get home tonight. :)
