Title Help Time

I swear, I used to be good at coming up with titles very early in the process. Lately, though, it seems like I've had to be help from the blogoverse to get some help and inspiration. Well, it's that time again!

After finishing up Fins Are Forever, the sequel to Forgive My Fins (which comes out next week!) I am turning my attention back to my Medusal girls trilogy. And guess what? I need title help! Here's the basic blurb:
Separated-at-birth triplet descendants of Medusa reunite and discover it's their destiny to guard the door between the world of monsters and the world of man.
I'm in need of a series title (there will be at least three books) and then individual book titles. But for now, just some series title ideas would be wonderfully appreciated. In case it helps, here are the (never before seen) character collages for the three girls:




Because I'm feeling generous and desperate and excited for the release of Forgive My Fins next week, I will give away a signed copy (fresh off the presses) to one lucky title suggester. Okay, brainstorm away!

Edit: Contest officially over. The winner is Malbebe. Congrats!

Hugs,
TLC

How about something with Gorgon in - The Gorgoneion Trilogy - including Hellenistic Nation - Chthonic Trinity & Apotropaic Daughters or a mix and match of those words all pertaining to mythology

Um, ok, this was super-fun, so I played around with it a lot--Even if you can't use them, maybe they'll help spark some ideas!(I was actually playing around with it even before you asked, because you mentioned you were having trouble somewhere else, and it was weirdly fun for me--so I'd do it anyway, but I would still not turn down a free autographed book! :)

Gorgons Honor
Gorgon Inheritance
Gorgon Legacy
Legacy of Stone and Scale
Deaths Door Trilogy
Gorgons Rising
Gorgons Risen
Gorgons Descend

The Tools of Power

The Power of Women

A Sister Legacy/ The sister Legacy

Medusa's Triplets

Medusa's Descendants

Medusa's Girls

The G Stories


I don't know... I make my titles after I write the book, so maybe you can try that technique. Sometimes just a certain line to something gives me an idea. Now, you are a definitely more experienced writer, but I understand that making a title for something you wrote can end up being more difficult than actually writing the whole book. Well, at least that's how it is for me. Lol. Good luck, and sorry if I wasn't much help!

Anonymous said...

for the series title:
medusa cubed, the word or the cubed #

1)Revealing

2)Gaurding

3)Surviving

OR:
1)We three Guardians
2)Double lives OR Duplicity
3)The Open Door

(I know these STINK but for some reason I love 1 word titles, IDk why, maybe because they sound more dramatic. )

TerryLynnJohnson said...

wow - thought I'd drop a clever title here after coming from your blog, but after reading all these amazingly creative and cool suggestions, think I'll just quietly slink away...
I vote for Gorgons just want to have fun.
