Word Count: 4655
Sentence of the Day: The door opened to a flint-faced housekeeper that he might've served next to in the sixth regiment of the black dragoons.
I didn't write one word over the weekend--one word on a manuscript, that is. I did, however, brainstorm titles. According to my agent extraordinaire, titles are apparently very important things, even working titles that will likely get changed. Whoda thunk?
Too bad I stink at titles as much as I do at writing a synopsis. So what's a girl to do?
Email some writing buddies and noodle over titles together, for both my already finished manuscript (the opium addict/mad brother piece I'd tentatively titled Fallacy) and for my new Bow Street Runners trilogy, I came up with a list for each. Feel free to vote on your favorites.
For the Bow Street Runners Trilogy:
Book 1: Brentwood's Charge
Book 2: Moore's Maiden
Book 3: Thatcher's Lady
Book 1: Unwilling Heart
Book 2: Undercover Heart
Book 3: Unbridled Heart
Book 1: The Guardian's Runaway
Book 2: The Lawman's lady
Book 3: The Captain's Charge
For the finished historical about the opium addict:
A Lie Once Believed
Heart of the Deceived
A Truth Once Hidden
Of Saints and Sanity
A Truth Denied
Fallacy of the Heart
A Heart Once Deceived
Saints and Sinners
A huge thank you to MaryLu, Ane and Lisa for sharing their precious brain cells with me.

On the Bow Street Runners series, all the series names should be similar, right? Like if you use a guy's name in one, you'd use the next hero's name in the title of the next book, etc.
I LOVE The Captain's Charge. So can you think up some like that for the other 2 books?
Like The Lieutenant's Appointment
or something. :o) You're welcome, btw. Just remember to return them later. I'm short on them.
We have a bingo! You are correct, Ane Mulligan, that the series names should be similar. The Captain's charge, however, got shot down by my agent extraordinaire. She thought the word charge might be too ambiguous and/or have negative connotations. Charge cards. A military charge. Yada, yada. So read my newest post for the winning series names.
