We’ve Got A Winnah!

A few weeks ago I announced a contest to “Name My Story”. For the past five months, I’ve been working on an epic time-travel adventure starring two of my main characters, Hank Addanac and Esteban Ruiz. Throughout all of the work I had been putting into this story, I had been unable to settle upon a title for this tale. That’s when I put the responsibility in your hands, Dear Reader.

Well, I am pleased to announce that I have selected a winning title, thus a winning entrant. The title of this monumental is…

Hard Time: The Life and Legend of the Boll Weevil

How’s that sound? I like it, myself.

Although the winner didn’t come up with that exact title, he came the closest to what I felt encompassed the spirit and nature of the story. And that winner is?????

Todd McElmurry!

Todd’s entry was “The Legend of Boll Weevil“. Another contestant came up with a somewhat identical entry, but Todd beat them by an easy week or two.

I added “Hard Time” to the title because….well, frankly Hank and Esteban definitely went thru a hard time fighting their way through 1990. Plus, I like the term “Hard Time” because it makes me think of a prison sentence, and you can best believe that our heroes were virtually held prisoner while they were in that era. :)

I’m pleased by the outcome of this story and contest and I will promptly get to work creating the winning design. So, if you’re reading this, Todd (and I truly hope you are), let me know via email or comment here which character (Boll Weevil or This Guy) you’d like to have as an 8.5″x11″ full-color autographed print. I shall quickly get that in the mail for you. Also, Todd, send me a mailing address for you thru my email addanaccity@gmail.com. Congratulations!
