Name That Judge #10

This Judge has been named. See the comments for the answer and watch for more chances to win tomorrow.

Hint, this author had a book published in May 2015.

It should be getting easier as more names are crossed off.

Ready for another of our little game of Name that Judge? Let's see if this one goes as quickly. There are 34 Query Kombat judges and all are agented or published writers with experience in this business.

Some have agreed to join me and give away a prize to whoever guesses their nickname. You can find their bios at Mike's blog, SC's blog, and my blog. (No, I'm not providing the links. Where's the fun in that? But look in the May archive.) I will provide the list of judge names. Guessed judges are marked off.

This judge's nickname was Haley James Scott. And they have provided a few hints:


 Haley James Scott recently visited Wilmington, North Carolina for a wedding, which is the location of the TV show that inspired her namesake judging nickname (photos may be on Instagram). Her first book was inspired by her real-life cultural background. She loves pizza, all things related to British culture, and has been known to throw one-woman 90's boyband dance parties.



First one to correctly name this judge wins a query or first chapter critique. Winner's choice! I'll put a time limit of five days on this, but hopefully we won't need to worry about such things.

Other rules. Let's see...

You don't have to have entered or been picked for Query Kombat to play. Anyone may try and Name That Judge. There will be other posts with fresh judges coming up soon. You may enter more than one Name That Judge post. You may only guess once on each post. You must leave a way to reach you--twitter handle or email address.

Play!
