Congratulations! You have found your way to the TOP SECRET page.

This page offers a rare opportunity to have a character named after one lucky person in my next, as yet untitled book (the fourth in the Declan Hunt Mysteries series). This book will be released in the summer of 2026 by Entwined Publishing.

Here’s how it works.

Join my newsletter by putting your email address in the sign up box below and press Subscribe.

You will receive a confirmation email that you wish to subscribe to my FREE monthly newsletter. Confirm your acceptance.

Then email me at peterefenton@gmail.com from the email address you want the book sent to, and add a comment that says “I’M A NEW SUBSCRIBER AND I WANT A CHARACTER NAMED AFTER ME.”

All new subscribers who send this comment between August 20 and October 30th, of 2025 will be entered and ONE lucky person from the entries at conferences this past year will have a character in the next book named after them.

If you are ALREADY a subscriber simply email me at peterefenton@gmail.com and comment “I’M ALREADY A SUBSCRIBER AND I WANT A CHARACTER NAMED AFTER ME” and your name will be included in this promotion.

THE FINE PRINT

While the character in the book will have the winner’s name, it will not necessarily be matched to their exact characteristics. The upcoming book is a work of fiction. All characters, places and events are from the author’s imagination and should not be confused with fact. Any resemblance to persons living or dead, events or places is purely coincidental.

Participation in this promotion does not imply that the use of your name will result in any payment.

This is meant to be a fun way to reward super fans by literally putting you in the book.

Last year’s winner of this promotion was Katherine O’ Grady who had a significant character named after her in the mystery novel The Burnt.

So the big question is … this year … WILL IT BE YOU?
