Holiday Hop 1: Name That Guy!

Welcome back to my blog for the continuation of the Holiday Blog Hop, featuring Indie Writers Unite authors. I do hope you've visited hop headquarters to see the other great sites available to visit!

Have you entered my grand prize contest, to name the hometown in my next novel, Going Home? If not, please do!!

For today's daily prize, here's your mission, should you choose to accept it: Name. That. Guy!

I have a YA series of 4 books outlined to begin writing early next year. The series is called Summer Nights and is set on the Jersey shore. The main characters - ages 15-19 - are enjoying their summers at the beach, where the days are hot but the nights are hotter. (Ok, it's YA. Not that hot.)

Help me name my characters!

Today's character: The Preppie

You know the type. He's cute. He's slick. Daddy has money. And so Sonny Boy has a buck or two to spend and is on the prowl for a cute little chickie to spend it on.

But he's not that stereotypical. See, Preppie has a soft side. He's really not all that - but he wants his dad to think he is. And so that means that the soft side rarely comes to surface. But perhaps it'll come out on a special summer night.

So what's his name?

Leave me a comment with your proposed name for Mr. Preppie - first and last, please - and, if you want, a brief explanation of why you chose that name.

Everyone gets one of my free short stories for entering (choose between A Strange Place, Dream Scream and Hidden Intent and let me know which you chose in your comment) and the person who suggests the name I chose will get all three short stories plus an acknowledgement in each book that uses that name.

And remember that everyone who enters this contest and all others through the Holiday Blog Hop will also get an entry to win a Kindle Fire in the overall contest!
