50 Ways to Name Your Book (Book Naming Contest)
I'm currently working on the third installment of my Adventures of Powerhouse book series. The first, Powerhouse Flies Again is now available for the Kindle.
The second is called, Powerhouse and the Rise of the Robolawyers due out sometime next month.
The third? Well, that's a bit of a problem. I honestly have no idea what I'll call the third one.
The basic plot involves Mitch Farrow, the CEO of Dorado Incorporated waging war against Powerhouse. First, he tries some conventional supervillain methods before resorting to using the media to destroy Powerhouse and then more supervillain methods with the goal of eliminating Powerhouse.
The current working title is 50 Ways to Kill a Hero attempting to evoke the Neil Simon song, "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." My bride Andrea pointed out to me that in the modern publishing environment, the title could evoke the image of "Fifty Shades of Grey." Definitely not something I want to evoke. Plus even the Neil Simon song's not necessarily the type of image I want to use (I was more familiar with the title than the song), but you got to have something for a working title. I don't "50 Ways to Kill a Hero" think will make on the cover.
So help me out here. What would you suggest as a title for this story? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
If I choose your suggestion, I'll send you a Kindle Copy of Tales of the Dim Knight and Powerhouse Flies Again.. In addition when whatever the third story will be called is released in paperback, it'll be in collection, I will send you the paperback version containing the story you helped name.

LOL. Well, they do eventually go back to more traditional methods as well, so it's a mix.. I like Hero Bashing 101. Interesting idea.
