Hello Everyone! Thanks for stopping by and reading my post.
I'm on a blog/book tour promoting my second Soul Catcher novel, Catching an Evil Tail. Today, I'm blogging about titles for my books in this series.
With the first novel, Claiming the Evil Dead, I made a short list and narrowed the titles with help from my daughter. The time involved wasn't much. Coming up with the title for book 2 was easier. Since Jessie is after a werewolf, I simply used the word tail and I thought "catching" sounded good with "tail". But did you notice both the first and second Soul Catcher novel have "Evil" in the title?
Ok, so it's now a habit to use that word, which may prove to be difficult as the series continues. At least, I'm thinking that might be the case.
The next book, Fighting Evil, is a general reference. But in future novels, I'm starting to have difficulty in finding titles. Yes, she's always sending evil souls to hell. That's what the main character does. But now, I question if I should continue to use the word "evil."
For starters, I don't want you/the reader to think my books are horror novels. Anyone who has read one knows they are far from it, but the title could be deceiving. Secondly, now that I've used the word three times, can I really change it and keep readers interested in the series? Will it throw you/the reader off?
I like the idea of using a common word in titles. It is kind of fun, but it makes for coming up with titles trickier and trickier.
For now, I'll stick with using the word in titles. But I'm curious to hear some feedback on this. Care to leave me a comment answering my questions above?

By: Mary Abshire
Half-demon Jessie Garrett wants to live a normal life among her friends and keep her soul catching ability a secret, but supernatural creatures keep popping up in her world. Adding to her struggles, her vampire lover remains out of the country, and when he offers no valuable explanation as to why he hasn't returned, she wonders if she should move on without him.
As if Jessie doesn't have enough worries on her mind, the demon yearning to seduce her shows up at her home. She longs to liberate herself from the debt she owes him, and when he asks for her help, she jumps at the chance to make a new deal with him—one that will guarantee her freedom. The only catch? She has to send the soul of a werewolf to hell.
Love, trust, and loyalty are on the line. Torn between her feelings for her vampire boyfriend, a hot Alpha wolf, and a demon vowing to protect her, Jessie must figure out her heart's true desires.
