No Man-Hams Contest
I've been debating whether to show off the cover for the next book. I'm rather proud of it even if there are no man-hams on it.
I'm still a few weeks from releasing the book, so maybe giving you a sneak peak at the cover is premature. I mean, what if I change my mind? What if I find a man-ham I like in between now and then?
I was actually saving the base art for the third book, but it works for this one too.
Which brings me to something we discussed earlier. The title. Wanna play a game?
In the vein of the children's game, Hangman, send me your best guess for the title of my next book and win that book, along with a few other goodies.
To give you a hint, here is the cover sans the title. Something in the cover will be a clue to the first word in the title.
There are three words.
5 letters. 2 letters. 5 letters. There are two S's in the last word.

Only one winner. The title must be exact. And the first person to guess correctly will be the winner. Critique partners, editors, and assorted fiends are prohibited from entering. You must be a follower of this blog to enter.
You may enter more than once, but only once a day until October 2, 2011. The winner will be announced on the day the book releases.
If I notice people having a hard time guessing, I'll give another hint next Friday.
So whaddya think of the cover? Does it cast a supernatural creepiness? You are allowed to hate it if it fails to meet your man-ham criteria.
Note: Post your guesses on the form below only.

many questions!
You are very talented in this whole cover thing Maria :)
LG: That's what's important. A good cover makes you want to know more.
Angelina: Bingo! It's because there are so many beautiful people on covers doing nothing but standing around looking smug (or sweaty) that the message gets lost.
Raelyn: If it gives you any hints, the cover symbolizes the antagonist in this story.
Barbara: Your mind's in the gutter again, eh?
I'm almost afraid to hear joke titles. Put them on the form. If I get enough good ones, I'll showcase them on their own blog post.
LOVE the cover!
My edits are usually very fast.

Sarah: I'll bet you know the last word. And you can be assured that the middle word is most likely an article or preposition.
Enough gushing. I need to figure out what the title is...
I can't enter the contest. I'm a fiend.

Enid: Someday, I'll find the perfect man-ham.
samdelapena: Man-ham refers to my derogatory conclusions of male models on covers on an earlier blog post. You had to be there.
