Hey Folks.
Yes, I’m in Atlanta at the RWA conference, I’ll tell you all about my bad behaiviour when I get back…but for now, I need help coming up with a title for a book. A while back I sold THE DEVIL INSIDE, my previously published paranormal novella, to Kensington. It’s going to be published together with it’s unwritten sequel as one book.
Two stories, one book.
So, the first story is THE DEVIL INSIDE, which will stay that, however, the second story is unwritten, and untitled. And the BOOK as a whole is untitled. SO I need title help. I can come up with one for the second sotyr fairly well I think, but I need one forhte collection. So far we’ve been calling it The Devlish collection. I came up with HORNS & HALOS, but my editor thinks it’s nto sexy enough.
So, help me please???
You need more info on the stories? Okay, TDI (or THE DEVIL INSIDE) is about a psychich woman and a non believer guy. the title is perfect because not only is her last name Devlin, but she’s a bit of a wild child with a devil on one shoulder and angel on the other…which one to listen too??
So the second story will be her brothers story. His name is Angelo Devlin. Yeah, sorta wierd, but it just came out that way. When I started Gina’s story I didn;t even know she had a brother until he showed up.:shock:
Anyway, Angelo is a telepath. Mind reader,and he’s a security specialist guy. He works for an old rich man that believes in and hates evil, and is part of a team of psychic hunters. His sister calls him Angel (for Angelo) and his team-mates call him Devil…for his personality and last name. 😛
While TDI is quite lighthearted and more romancy, Angelo’s story will have way more paranormal aspects, as well as suspence and action… sexy action too.
So, thats all you get for now…anyone have any title suggestions??
Congratulations on the deal, Sasha! Go you!
I’m sort of relieved though, that your new novella duo has to have a new ‘over’ title, because that will mean my ‘The Devil Inside’ and your ‘The Devil Inside’ won’t be confused with each other… 🙂 Sounds like it’s a perfect title for both stories, because my heroine Alexa certainly gets the devil inside her in more ways than one…:wink:
I’ve been told I’m pretty good at titling so I will put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with something that might work for you!
love
Wendy aka Portia Da Costa, also author of ‘The Devil Inside’… 🙂
:evil:why dont u try (is only a sugestion) using his name for the title. like “the devlin in angelo” sometihng like that. sounds corny but hey is something right lo.:angel:
What about something simple but evocative like ‘Devils and Angels’?
Thinking cap still on… 🙂
love

Possible titles for the collection:
Multiple Phantasms 😈
Extrasensory Persuasion
Angelic Temptation
Fiendish Delight
Wicked Rapture
Carnal Reverence
Preternatural Seduction
Divine Enticement
Hi Sasha, how about “The Devil Kisses” for a short title. You could even add on “The Devil Kisses, Angel Loving”. Chessy I know but my two cents input.
Kristi
The Devil You Know
The Devlin (or Devil) Made Me Do It
Bedeviled
Congrats on the sale, Sasha! Hmmm. The only thing I can come up with at the moment is: Devilicious. Something with (a variation of ) ‘temptation’ would work too.
Can’t wait to hear all about your bad behaviour 😆 😉 I really like Jaq’s Devilicious as an over title, sexy and fun, very appealing. Keep having fun, Sasha. Enjoy every moment.
Yeah, I have to agree with Saskia that Jaq’s title is the catchiest… the one that would make me grab the book off the shelf!
Devilicious has it all… fun, sexiness, devilment…
love
Wendy
Sara, Sasha, I love The Devil Made Me Do It! Very fun. 🙂
Other off the top of my head suggestions would be:
Wicked
Sinful
Devil’s Delight
Sexy Devil
Dance with a Devil (LOL, couldn’t resist)
The Devil’s Desire
or Devilish Desires
Or how about You Sexy Devil
LOL, Ok, back to work for me…
Hi Sasha,
Hmmm, I came up with Angelic Thoughts, Devilish Deeds :unsure:
What ya think?
Yep, I came up with a couple more. 🙂
The Devils Do
Due to the Devil
Sintation (or Sin-tation) — that’s supposed to be a cross between sin and temptation, really.
The Devil Made Me Do It (series title) & I lke all of the above on titles for second book. Hmm. Also rather like Devil’s Remorse, Devilishly Sinful, and Damned & Determined.
Was GREAT getting to meet you in person. Hope you had a fantastic time in Atlanta.

WOW! You all are fantastic at this!! I’ve seen several I love. THANK YOU!
I love Devilicious, and Damned and Determined especailly! There were several others inthere that I like too. I’m going to stay away from anything to do with WICKED for now though because I have something else in mind with that title. :blush:
I’ll compile a list for my editor. Thanks everyone!!
And Sunny! It was great to meet you as well. I met so many amazing people. It was a fantastic week!:jump:
