The names are in!
It’s been kind of a neat two weeks. I received a dozen name submissions which ran the gamut from Sarah (as in Sarah Connor) to Devon Sharktopus (thanks, Phil.)
But alas, as in Highlander, there can be only one. And because I like to make up arbitrary rules, there can be only three finalists.
One of the three names below will be the real name of the protagonist in my novella, Beware the Hawk. And to keep it a secret until the big reveal next installment of my story, I shant be revealing the winner until the next piece is published. (Although if you can do math and see the poll results you’ll probably be able to figure it out.) The winner gets to name the character, obviously, and will get a signed copy of the next story featuring her.*
Below are the finalists.

You can vote here or on my Facebook page. Hell, vote once here and once on my Facebook page, twice a day, from different computers. Vote for your favorite name. Vote for your favorite person on the list. Just vote a lot, because I really want a clear winner.
And anyways, it’s not like this is a race governed by the elections commission.
The poll is below. You guys have until next month (August 19) to vote. So vote often.

*There’s no money or anything else attached to this prize, as you know. Just glory and a free story. Hey, that rhymes.
I voted; where do I get my “I Voted Today” button?
Alas, I have no buttons to give. The warm fuzzy feelng of voting (which, I should add, you can do way more than once) will have to suffice.
Polldaddy? Lolz.
