Help Me Pick a Title
Hi Friends!
In the re-write of the Athena series, I’ve changed so much they are essentially new books. New plot ideas, new storylines, new character names so now I need new titles and a series name to go along with them.
This series is not a cozy. I would classify this more romantic suspense. But it’s not steamy hot romance or graphic suspense.
I’ve always struggled with where my books fit within genre because my cozies don’t strictly follow cozy guidelines either.
In searching for a definition of a genre for these books to fall into I found this.
Lisa Gardner writes, “Personally, I consider a romantic suspense novel to be a book that focuses on developing key relationships as well as advancing some kind of intrigue.”
This new series falls into THAT. For whatever it’s worth.
Here are the blurbs for book 1 and 2. Book 2 is vague as it’s not finished yet and things can also change.
SOME GENERAL POINTS
Addison Parks is the main character.
She’s an attorney.
Mid-thirties, never married.
In book 2 she dabbles in teaching law and book 3 I think she’s going to come back to Chicago to practice law.
Chicago is the main setting for book 1. She heads to Ohio for book 2 but will be back to Chicago after that.
If you have any ideas for a series name and/or book names for book 1 & 2, please fill out this form. On April 3rd I will compile my favorite ideas into a voting format and then give it back to you all for voting.
The winning vote will get a mention in the acknowledgments, can pick the name for Addisons best friend, and a $20 Amazon gift card!
BOOK 1 BLURB
Addison Parks thinks she’s found THE ONE. The guy she can take home to mom and have her happily ever after. Until she sees him marched out of the airport by the FBI and thrown in jail.
Can you say a change of plans?
Can Addison face her fears and come out of self-imposed retirement to defend her boyfriend Ethan who’s accused of embezzling? And what will she do when she realizes he’s not what he seems to be.
She seeks help from Alex, who has legal issues of his own but can also get the information she needs to help Ethan. Unfortunately, he also has the ability to make her forget she has a boyfriend.
Addison is torn professionally and personally. Should she listen to her gut or will it lead her down the wrong path?
BOOK 2 BLURB
To escape the drama of what happened in Chicago Addison takes a temporary teaching position at a law school in Ohio. When her predecessor turns up dead before she even starts, she is drawn into finding out what happened.
Against the wishes of handsome detective Rodriguez.
It’s a good distraction, but at some point, she will have to go back and face what she left behind.
