Author asks readers for ideas for next book
An idea-strapped author seems to have come up with a novel way to beat writer's block ... by asking readers to come up with the plot for her next book.
Lynn Brittney had a hit in 2007 with the childrens Christmas book 'Christine Kringle' but she is now asking readers to tell her what the characters should do next.
She is even offering a $5,000 prize for the best one page synopsis - she promises she will then write the book rather than pay someone to do that too.
"There are endless possibilities for future adventures for Christine Kringle and her friends," explains the author, who hasn't come up with one herself.
"And this competition gives me the unique chance to find out what characters and situations the readers would like to experience in the next book in the series."
Readers can now download an entry form for the competition from the website, christinekringle.com and anyone aged over 9 and under 90 can enter.
In the original Christine Kringle book, it is revealed that there is not just one Santa Claus – in fact there are almost one hundred – each representing their own country and with their own special name.
The daughter of Kris Kringle of the USA has to fight to save Christmas after a town in England bans the festive season.
