I finally, finally cracked 70K on this DAMNED BOOK I’m working on. So close to the end I can feel it. Any day now. Time for party.
It’s going to be longer than I thought, YAY! I can’t tell you how much I prefer the way I can go into detail in a full length novel.
I need a better title than The Pharaoh’s Wife/Concubine. Anyone want to come up with one? The blurb is on the “Coming Soon” page of my website, under the stupid title The Pharoah’s Concubine. Since it has nothing to do with Pharaohs or Egypt or Women, I figure we should come up with a better title.
Anyone want to try? Of course, the final word belongs to my editor at Samhain, but hey, she went with ePistols at Dawn when I wrote that, which I totally thought she was going to toss the second she got her hands on that manuscript so what do I know? Anywhoo, anyone who wants to help lead me in the right direction can email me at this addy:

Put “Title Suggestions” or something like that in the subject line. I’ll take serious or funny because I could use a laugh right about now!

Recycling older titles can be fun – the first one that came to my mind after reading the blurb was:
From Russia, With Love
Readers have been expressing interest in “Russian” books for a while now and using the word in the title is a good marketing decision, but there are lots of ways to do it without getting campy.
Good luck! Sounds like a keeper – but then all of yours have been re-reads for me so far. I’m particularly eager to read the next St. Nacho book… ::wink::
What about Russian Roulette as it ties in the Russian thing with gambling and hard decisions?
Oh, well, maybe, there’s no gambling in this though. There are definitely hard decisions.
How about: Leap of faith or (A case of) Stocholm syndrome
P.S. Fell in love with your books so Thanks for keeping it up
Leap of Faith is good, and yeah, I considered Stockholm Syndrome, because they talk about that in the book. I’m still thinking, thanks so much for the suggestion. My editor had another suggestion which I’ll be blogging about later today or tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping me a comment!
