That’s me! Feeling the burn, baby!

Okay, peeps! The voting for the Toothpaste Tournament begins and will go on from now until Sunday night, May 20. Here are some things to consider: All of these contestants willingly slathered their faces with toothpaste (enduring quite a bit of burning and stinging from what I hear) and they need your votes! The girl and boy with the most votes by Sunday night will not only win a choice of a Phantom Island book or t-shirt, but also an immortalized namesake through my characters. I will be naming my two main characters in my “Pink Snow” short story for the Toothpaste Tournament winners. “Pink Snow” is tentatively set to release in December 2012 as part of the Winter Wonders anthology through Compass Press – there will be some snow, some magic, and a LOT of flirting in this story. Haha. So cast your votes either based on their names, their pictures, their connection to you, or just because they so bravely let me post these pics of them! You must fill out a voting document embedded at the bottom of this post in order to cast your vote – if the form does not show up, you can send a request to phantomislandbook@gmail.com for it to be emailed to you!

After you vote, make sure you’ve preordered Watercrossing – releasing next week – May 22, 2012!!
