Really? Wow... it is something how quickly word of mouth travels

Knowing how sometimes Smashwords can be for ePub conversions, would I be better off purchasing Soul Identiy from Mobipocket and converting to ePub or going for the ePub on Smashwords?

I am reading Soul Identity right now... and it is a really a good read so far. I usually don't want to put it down.

jswolf:

if it were me, i'd get a free copy from smashwords and check it out. if it doesn't meet your standards, i'd buy a copy on mobipocket and convert :-)

however you get there, i hope you enjoy it!

So as I was reading _Soul Intent_ the sequel to _Soul Identity_ I was thinking what other titles he could use for future books.

Soul Searching
Soul Man
Soul Survivor
Heart and Soul (yea, not as good)
Soul Path
Living Soul
Soul Mate
Soul Brother
Soul Food
Soul Music
Lost Soul


Any more?

I like Soul Survivor -- that conjures up several ideas.

Soul Music, Soul Searching and Lost Soul also have promise. Actually, most of the titles you've come up with could work ... though "Heart & Soul" is my least favorite.

Of course, there is a Soul Patch... but... well, too cheeky maybe.

Not as 'cheeky' as "Ah! soul" though

Thanks for the books Dennis, have read and thoroughly enjoyed both, totally recommended.

i love the suggestions for future book titles, especially since i need help naililng the next one. here's my own thoughts:

so far, i've had a little play on words going between soul/sole. i'd like to continue that, if i could. these two are like that:
Soul Survivor
Filet of Soul (it's weird, but then again, so am i)


also, i've got an S-I initial thing going. some ideas could be:
Soul Integrity
Soul Intensity
Soul Infinity

now if i could just find a way to continue the soul/sole theme AND find a word that starts with I... that would be perfect :-)

any ideas?

Yea, I noticed the Sole/Soul thing..

Hmm....

Soul Indignity
Soul Interference (what?)
Soul Interest
Soul Island
Soul Industry


Not I words that play on Soul/Sole
Soul Possession
Soul Ownership
Soul Use
Soul Cause
Soul Heir (hey this one might be good... you inheriet your soul line)

I wouldn't belabor the Soul Ixxxx issue. If you deviate now it will be easy to craft additional books in this series without force-fitting a title. You could bring in any appropriate Soul Ixxxx titles at any time. If, however, book #3 has a Soul Ixxxx title, you're pretty much locked in to those for the entire series.

I vote for Soul Survivor for the next title. It jumped out at me when BOb first posted it and still resonates well.

These books are next up after Verdant Skies..

How about?

Soul Intersect
Soul Insight
Soul Image
Soul Invite
Soul Intervention
Soul Interval

Just saw Elsi's post and I see her point. Many readers tend to expect a continuation of series themes once it begins.

We must share a brain, I was thinking the exact same thing... if he goes with an I word for book 3... he can't stop... and as we see finding I words could be difficult.

I like soul insight, too.

Elsi, I see your point, but there seem to be many I words. I want my cake, and I wanna eat the darn thing :-)

then again, soul survivor has a nice ring.

Naming is so tricky, especially when you're after patterns.

Maybe I nail down my next theme before I nail down the title. Here's what happened on soul intent: it was almost named stolen identity, because I was enamored with that title. But soul intent turned out to be a much better fit.

Soul survivor sounds good to me! Lots of possibilities for plot

If you want a 'I' how about 'Soul Integration' / Incorporated / Incorporation / Inc / Incognito
