Winners of the Naming Contest and Soundtrack Previews

This post is long overdue because I've had a hard time choosing, so I'm going with more than four names!

Thank you so much to Tammi for the name Xastur, Jenn for Calix and Icarus, Jena for Evolet, Samm_Rose for Anders, and to Poet for Adara!

I'm definitely using these names and thanking you all in my acknowledgments for Hymn to the Fallen <3 For those who used online nicknames in the comments, would you like me to address your real name in the acks? Up to you!

THANKS SO MUCH!!

Because this is so late getting posted, I've uploaded some teasers of the Wings of the Wicked soundtrack I've been working on. These songs will be available for free download and I'll be giving away CD's at book signings for Wings :) I hope you enjoy them!

The Hammer of Gabriel


The Mortal Archangel


You Look Like A Cupcake
(This is probably my favorite of the finished songs so far. It's really cute and bouncy and so Ellie <3)

Yes thank you!! I loved the movie 10,000 BC but never really considered a possible name choice until you mentioned it here! I'm lacking in E names so this is a keeper! Thanks again!! <3 And glad you liked the song so far! The full song is gorgeous :) I just have some more tweaking to do.

P.S,
If you wanted to maybe... kinda... sorta put my name in the acknowledgments for Hymn to the Fallen, I would love you forever. That would be so cool! :)

Poet said...

Do you know how happy I am right now? I really didn't think that any of my choices would be picked. I'm so freaking excited.I don't have a problem with you using my real name Dominique Cudjo.

Courtney Allison Moulton said...

I'm so glad you guys are happy! There were some really awesome names in there and it was VERY hard to choose. I had to go with names that would fit their characters.

Interestingly, the character of Icarus has turned out different since he was named! He's a slightly neurotic, paranoid shut-in who is a relic guardian living in a modified 1950's fallout shelter. He is a lot of fun =P

Jenn said...

hehe i cant wait to see what he's like in the books thank you once again for choosing the names i suggested :D i'm overly happy :P

Tammi said...

I'm so glad you liked Xastur! I would like it if you used my full name: Tammi Higley. I cannot wait for the books to come out!
