Desperately Seeking A Title

My word count is up....but so is my total "estimate" for how long this book is going to be....



Okay...the premise of the book -- I really need to work on the blurb, but this is it in a nutshell.

Maera is a charter boat captain hired by some researchers (three men) to take them out to "The Island" (no, I don't want that as the name of the book, bleh). The researchers are looking for mythological creatures -- namely Sirens (Siren Song is a potential title, but not very "sexy"). Maera knows that once they get to the island, the men will be spellbound and killed by the creatures they are trying to capture. The problem, she's got the hots for one of the men and decides to try to save him. However, the main researcher, Dr. Strong, has a hidden agenda that might just get them all killed.

Fascinating premise. Me like! Was this meant to be the Wicked? If so, looks like it's outside of word count now...

Amd Sirens' Song isn't bad as a title and I don't think it's unsexy, but here are some other suggestions (all of the using "Siren" because it fits):

* Song of the Siren (I like it better than Sirens' Song because it avoids the apostrophe in the title, LOL)

* Surrender to the Siren

* A Siren's Seduction

* Siren's Mate

Not sure any of those are great, but maybe they'll give you a fantastic idea!

Yep...it was meant to be a Wicked...but like all my other tales, it'll end up right around 15K -- I seem to have something about that number..

My other crit group came up with Song of Seduction....

Now, I'll add that my heroine is not a Siren, not only that, she's tone deaf...

I like QB's Seduced...

Nothing has grabbed me by the throat yet...

Hmmmm.....
