I've decided to run a title contest since I have absolutely no luck in coming up with titles for my books. I submitted "Demons and Daughters" to my editor, which she didn't care for. However, she liked the idea of having "Demon" in the title.
So, here's where things stand:
1. Feel free to submit as many title ideas as you want. They don't have to include "demon", but it probably doesn't hurt either. We are also dumping the time theme from the titles so the door is wide open for titles. Let your imaginations run wild!
2. The deadline for submission is Saturday, June 20.
3. The prize will be a signed copy of Nightwalker, a signed copy of Dayhunter, a Dayhunter mug, magnets, and your name added to the top of my list of people who will receive an advanced copy of Dawnbreakerr IF (and let me stress this) IF I receive advanced copies of Dawnbreaker.
Now go, my readers, and be creative. Submit to me many great titles that will wow my editor.

Hm, from what I've read about it so far, coupled with previously discussed titles, with what you thought, let's see what I can come up with.
Daughter of Demons Traitorous Blood (though, I don't know if that one will give away too much???)
... I'll try to come up with a few others ... *wanders off to think*
Danaus' Excellent Drunken Adventure??? *grins*

I really have NO idea what-so-ever what this book is about and it's KILLING ME. So, trying to think of names is HARD!! I would hate for you to give hints because that ruins it and well...i know you can't ;-). ANYHOO....
Here's some names I came up with....for now...I SUCK at this stuff, but i like to play anyway.
Demon's Blood
Demon's Light
Demon's Heir
Demon's Scion
To Heir is Demon (get it!? get it?! - man I kill me)
In Matters of the Blood
Sins of the Mother
Sins of the Father

I agree with newfiewife that this is hard to title something we know nothing about, but I don't want any spoilers either. But still, man! I may have to come back once I stew this over for awhile. Titles are hard. I want to be a writer and I suck at titles. Mine come out too simple sometimes. Demon Blood Like Father (Mother?) Like daughter--Not sure which characters we're dealing with, so inputting sex may matter Demonic Trouble Demon Daughter or Demon's Daughter Daughter of a Demon Half-Blood or Full Blood (again--don't know who we're dealing with or what his/her lineage is) Okay, let me think on this and I might come back. Usually for myself I throw out basic/mundane titles and then take more time to think on it afterwards. Of course, I usually know what happens in the story to help make a title work...but oh well! I like a challenge...sometimes!

*laughs* wow, I feel pathetic in that I could only come up with two, and I got to read the back cover and know where I could get a little more info to go on.
Bleeding Dusk (just cause I can't completely give up on Dusk) Demon's Dawn Rise (or Fall) of the Demon
again, all I can think of for now ... I'll keep working on it though.

I like the current title theme, so I've come up with these: Duskslayer Duskfighter Duskshifter Midnight Slayer Midnight Fighter Midnight Shifter
And here are some other ideas: Bloodslayer Bloodshifter Deathslayer Deathshifter Dreamslayer Dreamshifter Dreamfighter Darkslayer Darkfighter Darkshifter Lightslayer Lightfighter Lightshifter The Demon's Grave Demon Dreams
I love contests like this, so I'll definitely be back when I come up with more ideas.

Midnight's Demon (prompted by some research into various terms ... and traditionally, Midnight is the time when all sorts of evil spirits make their appearance) Daimon's Salvation (in Greece, a Daimon was a semidivine creature that could determine your fate)

These are some great ideas. Keep them coming. I also have one last idea that I am personally sending.
The Dark Son
The titles so far have not had a lot to do with the book themselves so don't feel limited by the fact that you don't know what the book is about.
I guess all I can say about book 4 is that it takes a closer look at Danaus's past.

The Demon Within
From Darkness Comes the Son
Make a Deal with the Demon
The Dark Deal
The Darkness Prevails

Doomed Destiny Destiny's Demon Dark Destiny
... don't ask about the 'destiny' bit ... just seemed like a good idea ... which means it probably isn't.
