The T-Shirt Off My Back (Sorta)

Jackie Kessler

Back from RT, and still recovering! What a blast! But going through my remaining swag, I see here that I have one black Love Your Inner Demon t-shirt left! It’s unisex medium, which are pretty comfy — I’m not thin, but I can (and do) wear a small without having to hold my breath. So…gosh, I already have a shirt, so I guess I don’t need this one…

You know what this means, don’t you? Contest time!

I’m going to be writing a short story about Angel, to appear in the third volume of the charity anthology DREAMS AND DESIRES. What I need is the name of a male angel. Or male demon. (I’m still thinking through this one, can you tell?) So, hit me! Give me your best suggestions for a male love interest for Angel in this short story.

The winner, to be picked on MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2008, will receive my last Love Your Inner Demon t-shirt, will have named the character in the short story, AND will have a character named after her (or him) in an upcoming novel.

Ready? Set? Go!

  3. How about Constantine or Damien or Nicholas or Raine?

    Those are just a few that I can think of right now. I cannot believe that you have any leftover swag from RT. It sounds like you had lots of fun while there…I loved your A, B, Cs of RT.

    Have a great day!

  5. The name Dante really appeals to me for a guy, plus the obvious “Dante’s Inferno” reference makes for a nice mix with someone named Angel.

    Other favorites include: Dominic, Marius, Gabriel, Jericho and Declan.

    Glad to hear you had so much fun at RT. :smile: I’m enjoying the blogs, pics and videos that are out.

    Have a wonderful weekend! :mrgreen:

  25. Why does no one use the simple yet poetic name of ‘Jeff’ anymore?

    Why can’t a demon be a Jeff?

    Bob is good too. Not nearly enough Bob’s in fiction these days.

    I also like Chico, Dirk and Manny.
