Or, how about your friend or loved one?
The next Detective Shakespeare Mystery is almost here, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have supported me by giving you a chance at having a character named after you. All you need to do is join the Facebook Fan Page (link on the right), and then I will randomly pick names. There are several characters available, ranging from victims to police, bystanders to innocent roommates.
Be immortalized in indestructible print and eInk like previous contest winners Brent Richards, Tracy Oswald and Steve Scaramell. Their lives were forever changed (since that’s what lives tend to do from one day to the next) after being featured in Depraved Difference.
Here’s how it works. I’m going to pick a name each week until I’ve filled the list. If your name is chosen, I’ll let you know via Facebook, and you can tell me whether or not you want the honor (and it is an honor!), and how you’d like your name to appear. I will, if possible, give you a choice of characters I think you might like being. As well, if you were asked to join by another friend for this contest, I will ask for their name, and they too will get a character named after them.
So what does that mean? It means the more friends you get to join in the fun by joining my Facebook Fan Page, the more chances you have of winning.
Please remember: this is all in good fun. If I use your name, and you don’t like the character being portrayed, remember it isn’t you, so don’t take it personally. And don’t worry, none of these characters are people you’d be embarrassed to have your name associated with. Again, this is just for fun. As well, if I pick a name out of the proverbial hat that doesn’t fit the remaining characters, I reserve the right to pick another. For example, if all I have left is an eighty year old grandfather, and your name is Moonunit Zappa, sorry, I will have to pick another name, because everybody knows Moonunit is a girl’s name.
So, if you haven’t already, join, then invite your friends. You never know, you could become a recurring character like Officer Brent Richards.
Regards,
Rob

Since you’ve already used my husband, Rodney Underwood, in Protocol, I suppose I’ll go to Facebook and see what you do with my humble life. I read Protocol in a day. You grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go until you were threw. Not a quality I like in men but I love it in writers. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Good hunting!
