And The Name Of The Fourth Moon Book Is...

TBD.

Well, it would be tbd if it were in the middle of a sentence and not the very beginning of this entry.

Thank you one and all for voting on the poll and for your comments as well. You gave me a great deal to think about, and I gave my editor the same, by reporting the results.

In the early middle of last night, after making my traditional early middle of the night trek to the bathroom, I stumbled my way to the kitchen where I scribbled a couple of sentences to add to the end of the book. Then this morning, while exercycling to Harry O Episode 3 Of The First Season DVD I thought about those scribbled lines and how if I added a little of this and a little of that, there might be a completely different title possibility.

I emailed my editor about that possibility, but haven't heard back.

So to emphasize the importance of this all, I emailed her the entire revised manuscript. Yes, the rewrites are complete. I finished them Thursday with the assistance of a box of donuts, and then I finished them again Friday morning, and then I finished them for the third (and I hope final) time a half hour ago, after which I sent them off to my editor, along with a friendly reminder that the title is an open question.

I'll celebrate the completion of the rewrites by going to the movies tomorrow to see The Master . Then on Wednesday I'll atone for those donuts.

When I learn what The Shade Of The Moon's tbd title is, I'll let you know!
