We personalize our paperback front covers and the first pages of our hard covers, and they look absolutely stunning! Just think of your personalized novel on the bookshelf or coffee table with your heroine and/or hero's name highlighted in big bold letters. Additionally, if you choose to have a photo added to the back cover for paperbacks and hardcover editions, the names selected will also be included on the back cover. With eBook editions the names will appear under the photo displayed on the second page of the book.

Of the choices in the drop-down menu (e.g. Heroine and Hero's first names, Heroine's first and last names, etc.), most people select the Heroine and Hero's first names.

Note: all names will be taken from the top sections of the Character Questionnaire (for example, the Heroine's first and last names).

Our leading lady is a quick-witted adventurer living a reckless life of treasure-hunting and studying magic spells -- despite the fact that it's illegal. When she learns of a stolen gem, she persuades her friend to join her on a quest to retrieve the jewel and claim the reward. When they run into a man -- a Water Mage -- who's searching for the same gem, they join forces. Soon our heroine's headstrong ways clash with the mage, whom she initially mistrusts and finds both controlling and hidebound (but also very, very sexy). Slowly she learns to trust others, control her impulsive magic... and fall in love.

When entering the heroine's first and last names, include the commonly used first name and a surname that differs from the hero's last name. If you are purchasing this book for a married couple, use the heroine's maiden name. If you can't remember your heroine's maiden name, feel free to make one up. Unusual names like Bigglesworth are fine and are actually quite funny in the story!

Descriptions of hair color, length and type are included within the storyline of the book - so select the basic description that best suits the person you've picked to be the heroine. Not sure of the eye color? Many people select gray for those eye colors between hazel and blue. NOTE: We cannot add or change the descriptions that have been provided.

Our heroine's lifelong best friend is a funny, street-smart woman who thinks on her feet -- and uses her nimble fingers for pick-pocketing! Despite her slippery behavior and sometimes iffy ethics, she's staunchly loyal and supports our heroine through the good times and bad.

If you can't think of a 'female friend' for the heroine, don't worry! Select a public figure or Hollywood star.

Our hero is a Water Mage, a powerful man deeply connected to nature and the sea, able to communicate with sea creatures as well as manipulate water and liquid through magic. He has a strong sense of responsibility (sometimes taking on too much as a result) and has vowed to protect his home island and the planet as a whole. Strong, brave and serious-minded, he is taken aback by our heroine's brash ways ... but also impressed by her talent and courage.

If you can't think of a 'hero', relax! Pick a Hollywood star or public figure. Let your heroine fall in love with Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson, Christian Bale, Denzell Washington, Jon Hamm, Colin Firth, or any other hot celeb! (Unfortunately you can only pick one!) Or pick a fun character such as Al Bundy or Homer Simpson.

Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance, use Bob instead of Robert if he is commonly referred to as 'Bob'.

NOTE: We cannot add or change the descriptions that have been provided.

You can personalize the name of the boat on which our hero travels (and which is owned by his best friend). When typing in the name, please don't add "the" -- it will be added to the text. So if you want your boat to be called the White Dove, enter simply "White Dove." (Can't think of a name? Leave the default name, which is "Nereid" -- a water nymph.)

A good-natured, adventurous man, our hero's best friend is an able sailor who joins his friend on his quests. During their last escapade, an angry mage's curse left him mute, a situation that hasn't been fixed yet. Though he isn't a spell-caster, his fast-thinking and expertise as a sea captain play an integral role on their quest.

If you can't think of a male friend for the hero, don't worry: select a fictional character or even a Hollywood star! Imagine the hero having Brad Pitt or Will Smith as a buddy.
