This is the voting poll for the caption contest here. Commenters were challenged to coin a snappy caption for this charming candid photo of me at the Rainforest Writers Village.
Forthwith is the voting poll. Usual rules apply, first prize (after the voting poll) will be an ARC of Escapement [ Amazon ].
I will also invoke judge's discretion and award my last Audible.com gift card to my personal favorite. The card can be used for two Audible titles, including Mainspring [ Powell's | Amazon | Audible ] or any other title, including Old Man's War, A War of Gifts: An Ender Story or any of the Dune books.
