Valentine's Day Character Dating Contest!


VOYAGER VALENTINE'S DAY DATING CONTEST!

To enter the Valentine's Day contest, read the dating profiles below (3 characters from THORN JACK), then 'match' any one of them with a character from the author blogs listed--these Harper Voyager fantasy and science fiction authors will also have dating profiles of their crazy, intriguing characters. Leave a comment on the author posts of both 'matches'. Each comment serves as an entry for both authors' prizes. Each author will offer a different prize. There will be one winner on each blog. Check in periodically, as more blogs and characters may be added. The contest runs from February 2-February 16. until the end of February.

THAT'S ALL! Just leave a comment matching 2 characters on 2 separate blogs for a chance to win prizes!

U.S. and U.K. RESIDENTS ONLY. 

PRIZE: I'll be offering a signed, hardcover copy of Thorn Jack, Godiva chocolate bars, and an exclusive Thorn Jack charm bracelet made by me.

  2. Jeniche of Antar might make a good match for Caliban!!!!!!

  3. Sebastian might match well with Sylvie... His foster brother is an tattoo artist, and Sylvie seems surrounded by artists as well. They both like to eat and watch movies. I also think that they feel that they can do much more than what they are doing in their current lives.
