A while ago I asked for your help on what to title my American Civil War novel {
Wanted: A Name for my Novella}. It is no longer a novella at 50,000 words and 20 chapters long and thankfully this is officially a novel. Woot!!
Many of you came up with some of the wittiest and cutest titles that it took me a few months to figure out which one fit for my novel. {Again, I can't thank you enough for all your help!} My novel is no longer "Untitled" and neither is its sequel, that's right I have a sequel.
Here it is for novel #1
Just a visual book cover for myself, it's not even close to what I really want.
Just My Luck won out in the end. It was such a tie for a while between
Jessica's suggestion of "Cross My Heart" and my sister's "Just My Luck". I wanted to use both, but I knew that was impossible. I found that the phrase just my luck kept finding its way into the many pages as I wrote and that's how I knew for sure it was the perfect title for it.
And for the sequel - novel #2
I could definitely see something like this as a possible cover. But only as inspiration.
A Promise Kept began after my sister thought a secondary character deserved to have a story of their own. I agreed and a sequel was born. If you look under
My Work you can see more of the synopsis, characters, and setting to both of the novels.
A Promise Kept keeps with the same family featured in the first book and takes place in the reconstruction era.
I am hoping to pitch the two of these two
Steeple Hill, which is a inspirational romance that includes: suspense, modern, and historical novels. I only need 70,000 words for both and considering I have 50,000 for
Just My Luck, it'll be easy as pie.
I can't thank you enough for all your help in helping me to decide on a title and for giving me all the wonderful suggestions. Your encouragement means the world to me.
