First Reader Input Opportunity and an Intro to our Heroine!

It's time for our first round of Reader Input! Get ready to spin the wheel, pick a vowel, and push that buzzer!


But first, let me first tell you a little about our Main Female (nicknamed MF.)


MF is in her late 20s. She's creative and fun. She has a good salaried job working in an art gallery. Her parents have successful careers, and while she doesn't earn a ton of money yet, she wants to prove to them that she has what it takes to succeed too.

Toy car

So, what do you think she drives? What make and model is it? What year? Is it new or used? Maybe you're thinking of a color, but don't care about the rest of it. I'll take it! I'd love to hear what you come up with.


Please leave a comment with your idea(s) below or drop me a note through the Contact form. Don't forget to leave your name or "handle" if you'd like a chance at some Kim Clarke Books swag. (If only one person comments, they're likely to get a LOT of swag ;-) Once I announce the chosen car, this INCREDIBLE (and by incredible, I mean mediocre) opportunity will be over!


PLEASE DO NOT leave your email, mailing address or other personal information in Comments on the website.

Oh, wait. The legalese.

Expectations

These Reader Input opportunities are intended to be fun, offering a chance to have your idea (or a variation of your idea) show up in my upcoming novel. There will be no compensation provided. There is also no guarantee that if your idea is selected, it will make it into the final draft of the novel.

Acknowledgements

I'll do my best to acknowledge contributors on my website and/or newsletter when their ideas are selected. While some contributors and/or their contribution(s) may get mentioned in the Acknowledgements section of the novel, this is not guaranteed.

Tokens of Appreciation

Occasionally, I will send out small prizes or tokens of appreciation (e.g.: branded pens, sticky notes, t-shirts) but these are meant as thank you gifts and are not intended to be monetarily significant. In most cases, shipment will be limited to within the United States.

Waivers

Please note that by submitting an idea or suggestion, you are agreeing that:

  1. You waive any right to claim any ownership or copyright in the ideas or suggestions.

  2. What you submit is your own original idea or suggestion.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me!

Gorgeous! Have you driven one? Definitely an icon. As a bonus, she could cruise through traffic, waving at the crowds like royalty. So many perks!

I love the specificity of the year. You definitely have something specific in mind :-) I just looked one up - sweet! If I can send you a little token of thanks, send me a note in contacts with your name and a mailing address (which will ONLY be used for that mailing, and not shared.) Thank you!

Maybe she has a great sense of style and also a retro sensibility. Perhaps an updated Saab convertible - maybe early 90’s

A used mini cooper in orange. She needs something small for downtown parking (where most galleries are located). She also should have something sporty looking, but with the capacity to fold down the back seats so she can haul artwork or over night bags for a romantic getaway. Plus, she might want a dog in the future😁

Your explanations in defense of the mini cooper were spot on! I'd love to send you some thank you trinkets and acknowledge your contribution in the newsletter (and here, of course.) If you're ready for that level of fame ;-) please shoot me a note through the contact form on the Home page with your name and mailing address (I'll post your first name unless you tell me differently.) Thank you!

Our heroine has weighed in -- red mini cooper is in the lead! :-) Sending some branded trinkets your way. And because you were the FIRST to submit a suggestion you get a surprise bonus prize -- a mini watercolor kit and mini pad of watercolor paper. Thank you Marakawa!!
