Cast your vote here!

Each week I publish three new first lines from novels classic and new.

Choose the first line you like the best so we can together decide which is the best first line, ever. 

You will receive one email weekly that publishes the First Line Winner and the Gift Card Winner and the odd little musing on my part. By participating, you agree to let me publish your first name and last initial.

So, cast your vote!
