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.

Note: all names will be taken from the top sections of the Character Questionnaire.

Our star uses clever thinking and tenacity to solve the puzzles in The Hidden Key. After bringing home the wrong coat and finding a note with a mysterious message and a wad of cash, the main character is engaged in a huge responsibility. A sneaky character makes serious accusations, and on a lighter note there's a contest going on with a great prize. The solution to the clues isn't found until the very end.

When entering the main character's name, include the most commonly used version, for example, Mike for Michael or Nan for Nancy. Feel free to use a nickname.

Descriptions of hair color, length and type as well as eye color are included within the text of the book - so select the basic description that best suits the person you have picked to be the main character. If you are not sure of a feature, don't worry... pick one - it's a fantasy!!

Two stars shine in The Hidden Key! The main character's trusted friend provides humor, perspective, and support, being fully engaged in both projects - finding the lost coat and helping with the surprise project. This child not only shares the responsibility and helps solving clues, but also encourages the main character to persist in solving the mystery.

Suggestions for the 'friend' character would be a close friend or neighbor, a brother or sister, a cousin, classmate, or even a TV character! If you can't think of a name for the 'friend' character in the book (or there are too many to select from) relax - choose a favorite cartoon, movie or television character or make one up.

Choose the commonly used first name for the person you have selected. For instance - use Bob instead of Robert if he is usually called 'Bob'.

Descriptions of the friend's hair and eye color aren't used often within the story, so don't worry if you can't remember or don't know. Sometimes it's fun to make it up - for added fun include 'spiky red hair'!

The adult character in The Hidden Key provides support for the two stars with insight and confidence. The adult character provides important information so the two youngsters can handle their surprise project. The adult character plays a relatively minor role compared to our main characters.

This character could be a relative of the 'Main Character' such as Mom, Dad, Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle or an adult friend. You can also include combinations of names such as 'Uncle Tim' or 'Granny Sue'.

If the book is being given as a gift by an adult, the 'adult character' is an ideal place to put the gift-giver's name.

If you can't think of an 'adult' or don't wish to put your name in the book, think about selecting a cartoon, movie or television character.
