A few weeks ago I asked for help coming up with names for my hamster. Not a real hamster, mind you. I haven't had one of those since high school (and that's just fine with my husband). This name was for a hamster who will appear (star?) in my novella releasing next Valentine's season in the collection called Pet's Amore! My story is set in a kindergarten class on Valentine's day. The hamster is brought by a student who was sick the day of show-and-tell, so he decides it's okay to bring him the first day he's back instead. The kindergarten teacher isn't so sure it's okay, but the animal is already there. Let the chaos ensue! As you always do, you threw out some really fun names for this little animal, but of course I only use one of them. So, I set up a poll and let you pick your favorite of the options. That was fun to watch too. I never know which names or ideas will attract the most attention. And it's a thrill to see my readers so invested in my stories that they want to help me with details like this.
Needless to say, one name rose above the rest. So, without further ado, I introduce to you, Houdini, the hamster. I think it's rather perfect. Don't you? Did your favorite get picked? Got any ideas for a fun title for this story? I'm still working on that too.

Houdini gives me an idea of his future exploits! Great name. I would need to know more about the story before naming it.
