I’m thrilled beyond belief that Orbit has asked me to finish Jane True’s story with books four, five, and six. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what I call my next three books: four, five, and six. For, while using the word “tempest” seemed like a GREAT idea at the time, I have run out of “tempest” titles. I know something will occur to me or to one of the dozens of people I have working on this problem, but in the meantime I’m having fun playing with the most inappropriate titles possible. Here’s a short list of the top five worst titles I’ve come up with (so far):
5) Tempest Somethingorother
4) The (Significantly Less Shakespearean) Tempest
3) The Urban Fantasy Series Formerly Known As Tempest
2) Tempestuous Liaisons
1) Tempest Bledsoe
Can y’all do even worse?

I’m having the same trouble with my WIPs (a trilogy of paranormal romance – haven’t named the trilogy or each individual novel yet). Someone should come up with a novel name generator. As for your facetious titles? I like #3 best. My contribution? “Tempest in a Teapot.” See? I can name your novel but not mine. Hmmmph.

If you use a bit about the adversary or conflict or significant location it might hook up with Tempest. If you want to email me, I don’t mind helping you brainstorm.

Y’all are truly inspired. Or batshit! Let me know which before we go out for drinks.
Seriously, I love all of these. I actually think my favorite is Skitty’s Quantum of Tempest, because the original movie title, itself, was so mind-boggling to me.
Although Tickling the Tempest is also a contender.
And I want to hear the dirty ones, Lauren!

I snorted milk at Tempestual Healing. HILARIOUS.
And Ashleigh, those are quite good! Well done!
I really like True Tempest and Tempest Triumphant!
