The Name of My Book's Ghost, My Poster Contest Winner, & Trailer News

On Halloween, I sent readers on a scavenger hunt through my various guest posts to find the name of my In the Shadow of Blackbirds protagonist's first love—aka, the book's ghost. I slipped his name into my Halloween spirit photography post at Corsets, Cutlasses, & Candlesticks, but if you missed it last week, let me cordially introduce you to him right here:

If you really, really can't wait until April and are dying to ask a question, feel free to see if I'll budge on any info in the comments section of this post. I may answer questions that don't involve one of the book's many secrets.
