Title contest…

**COMMENTS CLOSED at 8:02MST time. Minions assembling now** 

The time is drawing near for the upcoming release of DRAGONS FOREVER.

But I have a problem that I’d like your help with! See, the series will be named DRAGONS FOREVER… but the first book, needs a name! And not just any name… the name needs to appeal to fourth and fifth graders from the shelf of a library/book store.

 

 

Here is the cover:

And here is the blurb:

When the first ray of light peeks through the crack of a dragon’s shell, it brands a mark into the hatchling’s flesh. This mark guides each dragon in his life. However, Deglan’s mark has been morphing, which can mean nothing but trouble when the lord of his clan finds out.

Meia has been in more foster homes than she has freckles on her nose. She’s always sent away because of her realistic dragon dreams — ones she insists are true — about a blue dragon who needs her help. After an amazing discovery, Meia might have proof they aren’t just daydreams.

Afraid for his safety, Deglan’s parents order him to leave and follow the voice from his dreams. His path collides with Meia’s and they build a friendship that will alter each of their lives… forever.

Here is how you can help:
Read the blurb. Stare at the cover. And post comments on this post. Not just any comments, title ideas. The contest will end on April 14th at midnight. (Yes, it’s tax day. What better way to celebrate then trying for a prize!)

Out of the entries, the minions and I (yes, I have minions… why do you ask?) will choose the top five candidates. I will post the five finalists on the website on the 15th of April and then you can vote again.

What can you win:
The winner of the poll will received a FIRST EDITION copy of my novel (signed of course) and 100 entries into the release week contests (you can put those entries where you want when the time comes, but some of the prizes will be signed books, a nook e-reader, t-shirts, etc.).

So what are you waiting for? Time to put your thinking caps on! Enter as many times as you want, but only five will be finalists!

(Please note: I reserve the right to pick a title that best fits the book, even if it’s not the winner… this is mostly for fun and to stir up the creative title juices… and to give away stuff. The winner will still be chosen and gifts given…)

How many suggestions can we make? Here are a few that come to mind.

Dragon’s Light
To Dream A Dragon
Moonlit Dragon Ride
Meia’s Dragon
Deglan’s Path

Some silly ones:
Freckles On A Dragon’s Tail
Jumpin’ Jax Dragon Flax
Midnight Dragon Roller Coaster Ride
Deglan’s Human
Free Deglan (You know like Free Willy?)

Ooo, that was fun. Mine are all mostly silly. Sorry I’m not good at naming books as is evidence of my wip’s name. Good luck, and I hope smarter people make suggestions. :)

LOL Charity, you crack me up! All count! Thanks :)

Okay, I’m thinking like the Percy Jackson books, so here’s my ideas:

Delgan and Meia’s dragon adventures
Delgan and Meia and the dragon
Dragon’s Mark (MAYBE? I’m not sure if this fits, but it seems like Delgan’s mark and Meia’s dragon fit somehow.)
Nothing But Trouble
Delgan and Meia: Dragons Forever

Great idea, Eisley! :)

If the series name is going to be on the cover, I’d avoid the use of the word Dragon in the title.

Here are my suggestions:
Flames & Freckles

Deglan’s Pet Girl
Wings & Freckles
Saving My Human

-TG

Dreams of the Blue Dragon
