Winner of the "Name That Spy" contest
We have a winner of the Raine's Rangers "Name That Spy" contest. I needed names for a pair of twin goblin spies/thieves who will appear in Con & Conjure, and the members of Raine's Rangers gave me so many good entries. It was really difficult to pick a winner, but I picked one.
Our winner is Tairis Anders, and his winning names are: Nisral & Raslin Hesai.
Congratulations, Tairis! BTW -- I did a mix & match on two of his first name entries, but in all of his entries, the first and last names were anagrams of "Lisa Shearin." Very cool. Tairis, your name will go on the Acknowledgements page of Con & Conjure for naming my goblin thieves.
Okay folks, I have prizes in my office closet and I need some more contest ideas so I can share the wealth. Your ideas can be something you just come up with, or something another author did that you thought was cool. My brain is fried from writing book synopses, so I need your help. You want prizes. I want to give you prizes. But first I need contest ideas. Let's hear 'em.
I've gotten some great questions which I will start answering next week. Coming up on Monday, by request, I'll post photos of the actors who I visualize for my main characters while I'm writing. And on Wednesday, I'll be Tia Nevitt's guest over at Fantasy Debut as the Featured Writer for Writer Wednesday. It's an all-day chat/comment/Q&A, so be sure to join me over at Tia's place on Wednesday.
Have a great weekend! I'll be putting my nose to the grindstone on these synopses. I want to finish them in the next 2-3 weeks. Wish me luck on that one. ; ) But heck, with writing, anything can happen.

Cool names Taris!
A pity it'll be around 2 years before we get our hands on C&C. Sigh.
It'll be about another month or so before I even start WRITING it. ; )
Congrats, Taris!
I still get this stupid grin on my face when people say "Con & Conjure" or "C&C", haha!
Will email contest suggestions :)
C&C!
C&C!
C&C!
You're grinning madly now, aren't you Jo? Heehee.
Hahaha! Yes, I am :P
I get this stupid idiot moment where I want to go "I named that book, I'm cool". Haha!
:D
Are you a writer as well? Imagine seeing your name on the front cover!
*that's what keeps me going with my current editing*
Hmmm, how can we bribe all the people we know to buy Lisa's book, so she can give up work and write full time?
Ladies, I'm fully in favor of a Bribing Promotional Campaign. ; ) I want to write short stories, too, but with having to work a full-time job, I simply don't have the time. Phaelan is dying for a short story about him.
Oh I'd LOVE a short about Phaelan! Maybe one of these days. I can hope and dream. :)
*puts thinking cap on*
Lisa...short stories are good. How about an anthology of short stories from other characters beside Raine? As perhaps a precurser (right word?) for future books with them as the protragonists?
Shame I can't put 'buy me' signs beside your books in shops.
Yunaleska, Your anthology idea is EXACTLY what I want to do one of these days. All the main characters get a story told from their point of view.
%-) Heehee. It's something I plan on doing, because some of my wips could do with extra books, but a few stories aren't long enough to justify their own novel. Yet.
That anthology sounds neat. I do enjoy shorter stories as well as longer ones. {SMILE}
