I was hoping to have an example cover to share with everyone like I had with the Pirate contest - but my friend who owns a kilt is being a little shy at the moment. Perhaps if you leave some encouragement he’d be more inclined to don it and show of his legs!
About:
This contest runs from January 1st, 2009 to January 30th, 2009. Winners will be the entry with the most unique user comments on their blog post detailing their novel cover. Additional votes will be acquired in a Twitter poll on the 30th and the winner will be announced on the 31st of January. Good luck! I can’t wait to see what creative things you do!
Prize:
$10 gift card to Amazon. Go ahead and buy yourself a kilted warrior or three. I hear their swords are mightier in bed than they are out of bed!
Rules of Entry:
Each contest is considered fresh. This means previous winners are welcome to join in all the fun again if they so choose.
1. The guy in your photo must be someone you know. Don’t bother submitting Patrick Dempseys in mini-kilts or Mel Gibsons in war paint. I’ve seen these warriors in action - I want fresh meat!
2. You must do your own photo editing. It is on your honor as a Highlander!
3. He must be bare-chested. Show those bulging pectoral muscles and rippling abs!
4. In addition, we should see plaid (or a kilt) somewhere in the cover. Bonus points for bagpipes, tattoos, swords, castles, and lochs.
5. The image should be: 468 pixels wide by 420 pixels tall.
6. Must include a name for your novel, like mine was entitled Her Highlander. We’re a superstitious lot, Highlanders, and a sword without a name will not slay many men in battle.
7. Tell us your Highlander story behind the photo. A hearty mug of ale goes great with a boastful tale. We want Glory and Happily Ever Afters in the making.
8. Submit to the wee lass, Keira at reviewromancenovel@yahoo.com

Hey now, your first entry isn’t bare-chested….
It’s okay - the winner of the pirate contest wasn’t wearing a billowy white shirt. I’m not picky!
So what’s next month’s theme?
I’m already hunting down my models… but some are getting shy. argh. stupid boys.
