Next April will see the arrival of the final instalment of the Storm Trilogy – ‘Vengeance of a Storm.’ A culmination of six years of my life, will see the thrilling climax of a story that I will be sad to leave behind.
To say goodbye, I am offering one person the chance to name a character in the finale. The winning name, chosen by myself, will appear in Vengeance of a Storm and will be for a very interesting character who will ‘feature’ not just appear once and disappear for the rest of the novel. To be in with a chance to win (and recieve a signed copy of Vengeance of a Storm when it is released, simply post your name on this blog post. (Note: First name and Surname required and all names must be original)
The character is a young rider from Carwell. Thrust into the storm that finally breaks out across the Four Vales. He is a dutiful, honurable young man, who comes to question what he has been ordered to do, and, ultimately, cast aside all he has been led to believe.
If you have not read either of the Storm Trilogy books to-date, it would be worth giving them a read to get a feel of the style of names that appear in the novels.
Good luck! I’ll be announcing the winner at the end of October.

I’ll have to think about that one. 🙂

I always take my time over naming charcters. I think names are incredibly important. I have read many books where the characters portrayed are fabulous, but the names just don’t fit.

I usually just accept the names as the author chose them, but I do sometimes wonder. 😀

Reblogged this on Blätterflüstern and commented:
If you haven’t read the first two sequels, you should do so now, and then suggest a character name for a chance to win a signed copy of the next instalment.

Well, I’ve thought about it on and off for ages now. I suggest Apenimon, which I am led to believe is an Indian name meaning “worthy of trust”.
