Upon further review...


Well after long deliberation…none of the newly brainstormed title options came out on top. Turns out my favorite, Cauldron of Fire, gave too many witch vibes. So, my publisher went back to an earlier list of possibilities and chose my daughter's idea as the title for the sequel to Isle of Swords. And you know what? It fits the story pretty well, but not in the way that you might think. And I'm kinda liking it. Of course, my daughter is deliriously happy. ;-)

  5. Very good title. I don't know if you plan on writing any more ISLE sequels, but if you do, they should probably all go under the "Isle Of..." thinger.

    Wait a second, did Wayne say they weren't making a third or they didn't have a title for the third yet?

    This has nothing whatsoever to do with this subject, but I've always wondered: did Mr. Batson ever post the last part of DW's original draft on his blog? 'Cause I really don't remember seeing it.
