Okay, I have somewhat reluctantly decided to go with Death’s Lady as the series name. Even though I personally dislike this style of title, it fits the series and is easy to say and remember. That means the titles will be:
- Death’s Lady, Book 1: The Year’s Midnight
- Death’s Lady, Book 2: Of Absence, Darkness
- Death’s Lady, Book 3: As Shadow, a Light
I will use the word “prelude” in the back cover copy of Book 1 and use the endnotes, as well as perhaps the back cover copy for the later books, to clarify the structure of the trilogy.
I should probably also collect these in an omnibus version, sigh. I just thought of that. I wonder if the cover artist would give me a discount for an omnibus cover?
Death’s Lady is kind of perfect, and I think it’s different enough from other Possessive’s Woman titles that it almost ironically comments on them. You can tell she ain’t someone to mess with!
Well, great! I will definitely assure people that this title is an ironic comment on the Possessive’s Woman genre of fantasy titles. I’ll practice sounding really sincere when I say that.
Ooo. Omnibus, please!
Okay, making a note, definitely an omnibus edition!
