Well, that's just pretty, and will look very nice next to my copy of Dark Space.


Looks awesome M, can't wait to get a copy.
How do I win a copy of this one?


Hi Trent. Don't you just love book covers. I never fail to get a thrill.

Jamie - I need a name for the last book. Think man, think! And a copy will be yours :)


Hi Marianne, although I haven't read the second book yet, so I have no idea where the third book is going, permit me to make a suggestion for a title (anything for a free copy of your third book - how about "Making space" - pun intended. Perhaps once I've read Chaos Space, I will be able to make a more apt suggestion (or not). By the way, it was lovely meeting you at SupaNova Sydney (I was the one that pronounced 'Heinlein' in Robert A. Heinlein incorrectly).


Oops - just realised you were looking for a name for your last and 4th book of the series - I still like "Making space" - you can draw so many levels and 'tones' from these two words - a tone of compromise, making space for changes or the acceptance of life, a tone of reaching the end (of the series) but a feeling that the story and characters will live on...............the pun in the title also lends itself to a reference to the sole entity/God who can (or should be able to) "make" space - the title is also an oxymoron - space is emptyness and nothingness so how can you "make" it? Well, I've convinced myself it's the perfect title anyway. :-)


Hi Dee,

nice of you to call by. I actually quite like that to. I'll add it to my shortlist to show my editor. Thanks.

When we've decided on the name I'll post it here.


Looking very nice - this is one I've been waiting for since reading Dark Space. I'll second what Trent said about the cover, it's always great to have good looking books on your shelf. As for a book title for the last one, some good sounding ones could be: Forgotten Space, Vacant Space or my favourite, Barren Space. Of course, seeing as I don't know what it's going to be about I may be missing the mark quite a bit here!


Hi Mark,

thanks for dropping by. I think I'll compile a list of names at Parrish's Patch and who they've been suggested by -so I don't lose track.

I'll do this later next week after finishing my proofs. I like Barren Space too.

best
MDP


oooh! Pretty!


Thanks Jo!
