I'm not sure if many of my visitors remember, but for my latest novella (currently under consideration), I held a fun contest where I gave achoice of three settings, three heroines and three heroes and the winning combination became the basis for my next story.
Remember? No? Well, I want to call on your fabulous help again to get my creative juices flowing and put my butt in the chair. This time though, I also want you to decide whether I should write contemporary or Victorian historical too :)
The person/s who suggest my favourite combination will win a copy of either Explicitly English or Coming Back, winner's choice! Okay, here's the choices...
Hero Occupation:
If you chose Contemporary:
Mechanic, Teacher or Architect
If you chose Victorian historical:
Boat-builder, Gentleman, Artist
Heroine Occupation
If you choose Contemporary:
Hairdresser, Dance Teacher, Writer
If you choose Victorian historical:
Lady's Maid, Milliner or Glove Maker
Setting
Bath, England
Paris, France
Virginia, USA
Okay, there's your choices....over to you!
Remember, the winning combination gets a free download of either of my books...Good Luck!

Mechanic
I'm thinking mechanic/writer/Virginia. Blue collar/newspaper writer/in the mountains. Maybe have the writer doing a series of stories about race car mechanics in the VA mountains. Mechanic would be totally blue collar. Self made.

Hi Rachel. This one was tough because I love historical. I can see a gentleman, a lady's maid roaming around Bath, England or Virginia and just the conflict arising from their different stations.
ReplyDeleteBut for contemporary, I can see a mechanic, dance teacher in Paris or Virginia.
So many choices and combinations. Good luck!
Contemporary
ReplyDeleteSetting Virginia, USA
Hero Occupation: Mechanic
Heroine Occupation Dance Teacher
I like this combination

Okay, and the winner is....Amber!!! Yay!!!
ReplyDeleteThe mechanic seems super popular, ladies - why is that, I wonder? All that grime, dirt and grease, lol?
So that's it, my next book will feature a mechanic, a dance teacher set in Virginia - I have a few ideas brewing...but feel free to expand your thinking, Amber!
I'll be emailing you for your choice of Explicitly English or Coming Back in just a minute, enjoy!
