Sometimes, what&#8217;s even harder than writing the book is coming up with the title. Each project is different, and I usually don&#8217;t have an issue coming up with a title (the publisher often changes them, anyway\u2014ask any Word Posse member!)<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, the horror\/dark fantasy anthology Word Posse will be putting out for me (Marella Sands) this autumn remains sans title. During ConQuest, I even put the current working cover on our dealer&#8217;s table and asked for suggestions. I&#8217;m now doing so online. You can email me a possible title, and if I pick yours, you will get a free copy of the anthology when it comes out. Make sure you email the complete name and address of where you want the copy to go.<\/p>\n<p>The anthology will have between 10-13 stories in it. They will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>A young woman whose mother has died discovers her mother was on a quest for immortality, and just may have found it.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A ghost hunter with a successful TV show finally gets the evidence he wanted, but not in a way he ever expected.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A poet lives on the beach for a few months on a quest for inspiration for his next project. But the sea, and what lives in it, has other ideas.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>An angel mysteriously shows up in a London garden with a horrific message from God to humankind.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A peeping tom can&#8217;t quite figure out what her neighbors are doing, until it&#8217;s too late.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>And others!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are two working covers with\u00a0titles.
