Tom Stoppard was one of the first modern playwrights I read. I still get chills when I think about Arcadia. He will be missed.

Are you a fan of grounded, one-shot urban fantasy titles like The Monsters We Defy, Siren Queen and Book of Night? You'll love That Which Lingers...

Announcing the (draft) title for my next novel: That Which Lingers. Set in Vancouver, BC, it features David Wan, an exorcist committed to banishing the dead before they can do harm.

Had to take a pause to cut out and replace a minor plot line that wasn't jiving with the overall flow of the novel. That's mostly cleaned up now and I'm getting back on track.

Back with 3 more title options for my upcoming novel sketched out on fake covers (NOT final art). Do any of these catch your attention?

I find titling one of the hardest parts of the creative process. Something that helps me is conceptualizing cover art. So here are 3/6 potential titles and mock-ups (absolutely NOT the actual covers) for my upcoming novel. Do any grab you?
