We’ll see what she says – often people on the production side have their own ideas!

Someone will have to make up their mind soon as it won’t be long before the book is in production…

The Riven one’s all remind me of David Edding’s Belgariad/Mallorean, although I think he spelt it Rivan.

I tell you, this title thingy is far tougher than writing half a dozen chapters, and it takes twice as long.

Rebels of the Riven World?

AAARgh!

Alliteration is a seductive thing for me in titles.

Harvest of the Riven World

I’m still thinking …

I’m not crazy about ones that match like a set of steak knives. Although Orson Scott Card did just fine with his Homecoming saga–Call of Earth, Memory of Earth, Ships of Earth, etc.
