Alex, I Can Name that Collection in ??? Words
I’ve mentioned my collection of stories which are reprints and are orphaned.
There’s one small press that might be willing to look at it. I’ve got to come up with the killer query — yes, the ever dreaded, oft-called-the-Algebra-of-writing, Killer Query — letter.
The problem is that this awesome collection (which will be 1/3 material which has not seen print) needs an equally kickin’ title.
I’ve got nothing, and “Attack of the Publisher Killers” probably won’t work when trying to pitch it to an actual publisher. Go figure.
Now it’s contest time. If you suggest a name that I go with AND the collection gets published – you will get a copy of the collection FREE and autographed.
So, my friends – my people – my minions. I challenge you… NAME THAT COLLECTION.

Hmm…I’m usually good with titles…
What sorts of stories? Is there a unifying theme?
Nope, no unifying theme beyond genre…
