Bring Out The Dead
It’s no secret that I have a habit of asking for volunteers from the audience, so to speak… people who would like me to name a character after them in one of my books. Recently, it occurred to me that you folks might enjoy seeing who has been in what story, and who did or didn’t survive. So here it is.
Some quick notes…
First, if you want me to use your name in one of my books, the best way to make that happen is to comment on this website. Second best way is to hit me up on my Facebook author page. I’ll give lowest priority to requests on my personal Facebook page. The reason for the prioritized system is that I try to keep my personal page personal, and my author page (and obviously this website) professional (for the most part).
So without further ado, here is the list I have so far. It will change as things progress in my writing.
