The good news is that DAW’s going to re-issue my two Cleveland Portal novels, Dragons of the Cuyahoga and Dwarves of Whiskey Island in an omnibus edition due out August 2009. W000t!
The bad news, Sheila at DAW told me this yesterday, and she needs me to give her a title for the thing by Tuesday. And if you’ve followed my agonizing over the title for Lilly’s Song, you know this is a bit of a tight deadline for me… At least for a title.
Wish me luck.
I started out as a seat of the pants writer. My first books started out with me writing on page one, and just chugging along until I was done. It worked for me as far Read more…
That’s the good news. I’m several chapters into book two and I’m enjoying myself. That said, I don’t have a home for it yet. It’s not usual for me to get committed to a project Read more…

You could call it “Browns Fever: Books 1 & 2 of the Cleveland Portal Series”. I say “Browns Fever” as if I remember correctly, the portal opened during a Browns/Steelers game. Besides, “Browns Fever” would make it more marketable.

That’s a difficult proposition. I recall when I first saw the cover of Dragons of the Cuyahoga, I grinned, because the title perfectly conveyed the basic premise in just four words: a collision between a fantasy realm and the real world. Had the first book been titled The Dwarves of Whiskey Island, my beer money would have gone to a nice microbrew that week.
So here are some suggestions:
The Realm of the Cuyahoga
The Cleveland Portal
Fires of the Cuyahoga (a not terribly sly reference to that time the river caught fire)
