It’s Giveaway Friday, squeee!

House Andrews have witnessed the Horde’s long-suffering battle with our most relentless adversaries, W*iting and P*tience.
To fortify morale, they are gifting This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me: 1 hardcover copy will go to a lucky US winner and 2 PDF ARCs to international winners.
To Enter:
Comment below and let us know:
- which country you’re from
- what your name would be, if, like Maggie, you would find yourself transported into a book (any book, by any author).
You can use your own name, make one up, or go full fantasy-protagonist and keysmash a lot of “y” and “z” into the usual unpronounceable creations. Have fun, Horde!

From the Netherlands.
Playing DnD again since a long time so I’d go with something like Nyxadora Nightwither Druid of the Forbidden forest.

USA
Annie
Polska
Agnieszka Wilcza Straż
From Türkiye.
My name is Mine (Turkish for forget me not flowers) which would be really strange to say the least 🙂 So I’d love my fantasy name to be Yakamoz.
Hello and thank you for all your hard work! I’m from Romania and I think Flavia is a beautiful name
USA
and I’ll use Susie.
I would be Mai
I think it can be a real world or fantasy world name
I’m from Australia
In this dystopian novel, set in the United States, I am Kathy. Were I suddenly transported like Maggie, I would probably still be Kathy.
But maybe I could become Polly Stichum, Guardian of Needleworkers and Evergreen Ferns.
USA & first name of Bresnan. I’ve just always loved it.
Germany
Susanne the dying of curiosity
USA. I live in Hawaii
Merina
USA. And I would be Elios, which was the Greek god of compassion and kindness. My husband picked it for me for my first science fiction Con badge and I try to embody it as much as possible.

Josie, exhausted avenger
USA
USA—I would go with my name!
This is not related to the above blog post but it’s not a technical issue with a book, so I didn’t feel I could email.
I came across a book that looks like it ripped off the cover of Diamond Fire. The book is Bone Witch by D. N. Hoxa. It’s the covers on audible. Just thought I should let someone know.

I’d go by Dim. My real name is rough enough for folks to pronounce in my own world, so I’d trend towards something dumb and easy. Dim also means “egg” in my mother tongue.
From the USA
…I usually go with Cordelia when naming my character in video games, after Mile’s mother in Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga (and who young me wanted to be when I grew up).
But in this case, I’ll go with my all-time favorite character name, courtesy of Barbara Hambly’s Darwath series: the Icefalcon.
This name has it all – brevity, mystery, a touch of menace, and a definite article that is always part of the name, but only capitalized when placed at the beginning of a sentence. Sigh…
Germany – I choose Benedictus as my name and it would be my mission to protect us nice living creatures from all these curses that are uttered by evil spirits all the time, like “be pat*ent” or “please w*it”

USA state of Michigan
Julia of Aeralia, Holder of the Sigils of the Veil

Hi! I’m Erika from the USA! So, one of my all time favorite books is “In Other Lands” by Sarah Rees Brennan. It’s fantasy with lots of humor. Well, if I were transferred into that story, I’d like to join the elves in the book, who have vey unusual—slightly flowery—but warlike names, such as Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle (which as you can tell, she is pretty badass!). If I got transported inside the book, my elven name would be something like:
Wonders-Why-You-Are-Yelling
Or maybe…
Patient-Until-You-Make-It-Worse
Or most likely…
Thinks-This-Meeting-Could-Have-Been-Better-As-A-Note
Or maybe just…
Sits-On-The-Ground-Staring-At-The-Sky

I’m in the US and would be Damari Escirot.
TEXAS; it’s its own country. USA. George of the Nantahala River.
International here, living in Spain! And I like my name, Annalise. Of course, here, it may as well be an unpronounceable fantasy name, as no one can say it without adding an -a at the end!
1. United States officially. The Lost Land Of Sahkran unofficially
2. Lynette Morisdoter, whose birth is a secret. So don’t go telling anyone or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be mine.

Recently, five-year-olds that I read to at a local kindergarten pretended to forget my name (after meeting with me every week since September.) I proudly told them my ‘real’ name: Her Royal Middleness, Countess Gertrude Von Flugelhorn The Twenty Third And A Half Of Olde Jersey.
I answer to this name anytime I am transported into a book. I also suspect I will now be answering to this name anytime I read to these littles in the foreseeable future.

I would be Mae the fortunate. (I have people I love, money for books, and relatively good health… fortunate!)

I always loved the name Aerin, ever since reading the hero and the crown as a kid – it feels just fantasy adjacent enough. And while I’d love to be The Wise or The Clever, realistically, I’d probably be Aerin, The Perpetually Kerfuffled!
South Africa
Payal, Friend of the Pack

Thanks HA and Mod. R!
Is anyone else wondering if our Lady, she who is Untouched by Sun, may have some vampire type thing going on? Not that there’s anything wrong w that!
UK
My name would be Summer, which I always thought was a lovely name. Knowing my luck, though, I’d get transported to a land where I’d die very messily (as per Guy Fleegman) before anyone thought to ask me my name.

Missouri, USA
Cassandra!
USA – if I got transported to a book, I’d want to start with my middle name so I actually recognize when people are talking to me while avoiding any accidental fae bargains.

US
Bonnie, the Witch of the Haunted Mountains (Appalachia is wild)

“Madison” is not the easiest name to say in a lot of languages (too many hard consonants) and I can picture a scene in a fantasy land where they fail to understand it and just pick one that’s more normal for the world, and the protagonist just goes with it.
Canada
Pen Valkyer
United States
I’d be Estefania! It’s such a pretty version of my name 🙂
USA
Sammykins the Bard
USA Deirdre, Saguaro Bard of the Desert Wastes
USA
I would hope to be transported into to Kate or maybe Innkeeper as they are the two that would have access to magic like Lyc-V or as Dina says, most humans have magic, they just have to learn to use it. I feel like not being part of a magic family in Hidden Legacy would feel like i was watching things from the outside.
Anyway, my name would just be Genevieve in either place.
1. US

USA
Mary the Contrarian (just because)

…ummm”
United States
I would be Robbie the giant.
I don’t know if you’ve read the military space opera by Elizabeth Moon about Captain Honor Harrington, but I feel like Honor works as an excellent fantasy-world name (alternatively, also works for extremely pinched trust-fund WASPs). I think it also works well since it’s a word that is translatable, so if you end up in a fantasy world with a bunch of different languages, you could pick the sound or choose to pick the word that means “Honor.” Adaptability; it’s the thing that matters most when you’re transported into a fantasy world, or so my reading has led me to understand. (I’m in the US)

I am from the US.
