I just fin\u00adished my short (short\u00adest yet) book. It\u2019s an inter\u00adra\u00adcial con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary novel\u00adla. Want to know the title? So do I. Titles have always been a tough thing for me. How do you cap\u00adture the mood in so few words? What word will grab a read\u00ader by the ears and shake them until they want to read the book? It\u2019s got\u00adta be good, and as they say, you nev\u00ader get a sec\u00adond chance to make a first impres\u00adsion. Cov\u00ader, title, blurb. In that order. Each of those three make my gut twist. \u00c2 So I\u2019m open to sug\u00adges\u00adtions. Here\u2019s a short blurb-ish thing:<\/p>\n

\nPsy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgy 301, three days a week.<\/p>\n

For half a semes\u00adter, Jaycee has used every one of those nine\u00adty min\u00adutes to deposit glimpses of ROTC<\/span> cap\u00adtain Tyler John\u00adson into her fan\u00adta\u00adsy bank.<\/p>\n

An acci\u00adden\u00adtal touch leads to flar\u00ading libidos, and before she knows it, she\u2019s enact\u00ading her hottest fan\u00adta\u00adsy beneath a set of stairs in the class\u00adroom building.<\/p>\n

Objec\u00adtions to their rela\u00adtion\u00adship come from an unex\u00adpect\u00aded source, mak\u00ading Jaycee sec\u00adond guess their future togeth\u00ader. Is sex\u00adu\u00adal chem\u00adistry enough?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Okay, that\u2019s the unof\u00adfi\u00adcial blurb, still pol\u00adish\u00ading that too.<\/p>\n

Any ideas? Leave your sug\u00adges\u00adtions in the com\u00adments, and if I choose yours, you\u2019ll get not only the brag\u00adging rights, but a dig\u00adi\u00adtal copy of your choice of any of my (or Alan\u00adna\u2019s) backlist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In oth\u00ader news, I \u201cmet\u201d my new edi\u00adtor for Cari\u00adna Press today via email. I can\u2019t wait to hear her thoughts on Tes\u00adsa\u2019s Pride. Well, maybe I can. Ask me when I\u2019m deep in the throes of edits.<\/p>\n

And now what? I don\u2019t know. Poor Alan\u00adna has been wait\u00ading patient\u00adly for her turn to write. She\u2019s got some plot issues that she needs to work out on the one WiP that she\u2019d love to fin\u00adish. (Inter\u00adest\u00ading\u00adly enough, it isn\u2019t titled either) There are sev\u00aden oth\u00aders to choose from, guess we\u2019ll go root\u00ading through the WiP file and see what strikes us.<\/p>\n
