So...do I need a series title other than the Night Calls books?

Yes, mentioned on Facebook....

So....getting ready to slap things on the second book, on registrations, etc. There has never been a title for the Night Calls books, other than the Night Calls books, or the Alfreda books.

Do I need something other than the Night Calls series?

Most things don't suggest the niche Allie occupies. The Awakening Land is taken ;^) and having something of magic seems important. Allie is someone who is listening for threat, and for support, from the Other Side. Hence the Night Calls series. Her name alone could limit her audience.

Any suggestions? No harm, no foul--just brainstorming.... But running out of time.

Yes I think a more general title would help. I am putting on the thinking cap.

I think a series title makes sense. I don't know that Night Calls is a bad one. But something that distinguishes it from everything else is a good idea. I'll think too.

Practitioners of the Frontier?

(Of course, I want to call it "Frontiers in Practice", riffing of the "Frontiers in..." series of scientific journals.)

Little House on the Other Side? (Okay, now I'm just getting silly.)

"Death's Apprentice" would get plenty of notice, but it's also been used. "Defender of the Mysteries" sounds too cryptic. "Woodland Wizard," maybe? Does the title of book 3 hold any clues?
