Fancy your title on the cover of a book, your name mentioned in the acknowledgements? It could happen! For the month of March, I’m running a book title cover contest.
Not to worry, I am giving you some help starting with the image that will grace the cover. Are the creative juices starting to flow?
Here’s what the book is about…
Sometimes there’s more to a house than bricks and mortar.
Hillcrest House is one such place. Perched on a cliff in the picturesque town of Angel Falls, there is more to this Victorian mansion than meets the eye. When referring to the house, the locals use the word haunted on a regular basis. Strange visions appear in the windows, especially the second-floor ones over the side porch. Even stranger events take place within its four walls.
Rumour has it, the original owners, Asher and Maggie Hargrave, never left their beloved home. They claim the couple and their family are responsible for driving people away. Over the years, Hillcrest House has changed hands numerous times. No one stays long. Renovations begin then stop and the house is once more abandoned. The latest in this long line of owners is Jessica Maitland.
Will Jessica be the next one to succumb or will she unravel the mystery of the haunting of Hillcrest House?
How about now?
How does it all work, I hear you ask.
Contest details…
Contest opens March 1, 2016 and runs until March 31, 2016.
Come up with a title and leave your idea in the comments. And for those of you who would like to take your chances but aren’t comfortable leaving a comment on a blog, send an email to Title Contest.
At the end of the contest, one lucky entrant’s title will be chosen. He/she will receive an e-copy of the book (Mobi, epub or pdf – their choice) and their name included in the acknowledgements.
Another winner will be chosen at random from the non-winning titles.
Enter as many times as you like but be sure you do before the deadline for your chance to win.
Good luck!
Thinking cap on:
The Mystery of Hillcrest House
The Angel Falls Mystery

Hi Melanie
Not much time to put thought into this, but both Hillcrest House and the name Hargrave offer themselves quite nicely to alliteration – The Haunting of Hillcrest House, The Haunting Hargraves, Hand of The Hargraves etc. Alternatively, what about Caveat Emptor (buyer beware)? Good luck with the book, whatever it’s called 🙂
