We have a winner!

A while back I ran a contest to put a new title on the sequel to SEABORN.  I wrote the book under the title, THE NEW SIRENS, which didn't go over well with just everyone...anywhere, even with my acquaintances and friends under the sea. 

So, we--me and editor Paula Guran--cooked up a scheme to title the sequel, a contest in which you, me, Paula, with input from the book distributor, came up with a list of titles that could work.  The winner of the contest would have the opportunity to rename one of the characters in SEABORN.

We took the list of titles, thirty or forty of them, and ran them through the book title supreme council, and they came back...not quite blown way by any of them.  But they liked SEA THRONE enough to go with it.

So, until further notice--which can happen at any time, the title of the sequel to SEABORN is...

SEA THRONE

I like it.  It works well with the plot.  A couple people emailed in that title, and we had to pick one: Judith.  Congrats, you get to name a cargo ship's second officer--someone who plays an important role, has dialogue.  Remember the most important contest rule:  Tiffany and Percival are off the table.
