Haradion Drogon Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Some of these are Idea I have, but have nothing more than the title done: The Bloodlands The King's Necromancer Last of the Dragonlords Hellfire Demonkin As for me, titles are the hardest part of books. I'm struggling to form one for a steampunk style novel I'm in the midst of outlining. I never written any Steampunk... What about: The Steam Heart Clockwork Mind Edited January 4, 2013 by Haradion Drogon
Colateralwar Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like this forum has been dead for a bit and I just joined so I figured I would add my two cents. I love the series title "The Death of Dragons", and I know its a little irritating for most authors to hear but titles do matter--that is a great one. I am less sold on the individual titles of the books, I have no doubt they could be reworked over the course of writing them, but I would at least pick up the first one in the series for a read. I absolutely love the title "Age to Age, We Fall". It has a quality to it that simply begs to be pulled from the shelf instantly. I am assuming that it is a Fantasy work, but even if it weren't I'm not sure I could stop myself from making an immediate impulse buy. My own works are as follows. Song of the Wild Sea First Verse: Tameless Second Verse: Heartless Final Verse: Shapeless The Dawnstalker Saga Book One: Horizon Book Two: Catching Stars Book Three: The Dawn I'm quite the fan of the trilogy structure, as you can probably tell. Right now I am switching gears to my Song of the Wild Sea series, having just finished the first draft of The Dawn I figured I needed a change of pace. Hopefully I will be able to get you all the first drafts of the Prelude for Song of the Wild Sea and the Prologue for Tameless for next monday!
Colateralwar Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Oh, and 'Fall Stars Fall" is mesmerizing to me. But that may have more to do with the fact I am completely enamored with astrology and the night sky than anything else. Still, it provides me with a powerful image. I see a shadowed figure looking up at the night sky atop a large building, or a cliff perhaps, surrounded by licks of angry light from raging fires. I would definitely read the back, if not the first few pages, which is often the difference between a book sold and a book ignored.
Silk she/her Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) The funny part is you're absolutely one hundred per cent right about the cliff. Also: Massive waterfall. And an ocean with icebergs! Edited March 20, 2013 by Silk
