The winner is…

Comment #4! Missie, e-mail me your address, and I’ll send you an autographed copy of Her Irish Warrior just as soon as I get my author copies. It may be another month or two, but don’t worry, I’m keeping track of who I owe copies to. (Gee, that last sentence sounded awkward.)

Everyone’s ideas really helped. I ended up sending the following possibilities to my editor:
Wounded Warrior
A Warrior’s Heart
Warrior’s Seduction
The Warrior’s Touch
Warrior’s Vengeance
In Your Eyes
Healing the Warrior
His Irish Healer
To Save an Irish Warrior
To Heal an Irish Warrior
One Stolen Night

If any of those (to quote my husband’s favorite phrase) “blow your skirt up,” let me know. Not that I have a great deal of say in the matter, but I’d like to know if certain titles sound better than others. After a while, I’m very tempted to take Tori’s suggestion and just name the book The Wounded Irish Warrior’s Secret Baby.

My darling son took a spill today. Nothing strikes more fear into a mother’s heart than a phone call with the words, “Your son was in an accident.” All I could think of was broken bones or any other form of disaster. He took a face-plant onto the concrete parking lot and split his lip open. Thankfully that’s all that happened. It could have been much worse. Then I went through the whole–Do I take him to the doctor and look like a moron or do I put ice on it and risk infection? I went with the paranoia. He didn’t need stitches, but the doctor gave him Industrial Strength Bacitracin and some antibiotics to ward off any issues. That works for me. Mouth bacteria can be some nasty stuff. The poor boy was a big bag of miserable tonight, and I’m afraid it’ll be worse tomorrow.

The new book is starting to take shape. It’s funny how your perception changes after you’ve written more than one book. I’m not as scared of length any more, because I know that I add anywhere from 40-60 pages on my second draft. Layering in the emotions and descriptions makes such a huge difference. And even though I have 110 pages so far, the romance is just getting started. Just the way I like it.

So, did any of the titles grab you? Or which ones would you definitely say no to?
