Your Shot at Immortality?

Have you ever wanted to see yourself in a crime novel? (Preferably, not dead on page one.) Well, Canadian novelist Rick Mofina is holding out just that carrot to some lucky reader. Via Shots, he’s sponsoring a “new global draw to have a minor character named after you” in Six Seconds, a standalone thriller Mira Books will publish in 2009. Entries must be received by October 20. More details on this contest can be found here.
