Dellis
entered by C.J. Cantilena
The truth is I've been calling him Zion - Kashmeir - Dellis for a few weeks now and I've sort of grown attached to all the names.
And he is a faery, after all. Did I mention that?? If not, the cat's out of the bag now.
In some lore humans can control a faery if they know his or her full name. My book follows this lore. While I had only planned to add the winning name in the character name I came up with, I'm already missing Zion and Kashmeir. So, I've decided to use the three finalists as part of my character's name and then use the winner as the name that readers will learn in the book.
Without further ado
I'm pleased to introduce to you
Dellis Zion Kashmeir ...
(I'm withholding the rest of his name as to help him keep his secret.
I'm sure you understand.)
What
do we know about him so far? Well,
he’s
a male in his late teens with stormy white
eyes
and pale blond hair. He’s one of three
supernatural
creatures being introduced in
the
EMBRACE sequel HOLD TIGHT.
Congratulations to the winners of the contest:

Since I decided to use all three names, I will be sending Dave Martinez (submitter of the name Zion) and Alexis Peplow (submitter of the name Kashmeir) an ebook of EMBRACE or a $5 gift card (their choice) as a consolation prize.
Thanks
to all the students who entered names! You
guys came up with some great suggestions!
