Urban Wolf update

[naomi_jay]

So it turns out there's a novel being released this year called Blood Hunt that features lesbian werewolves and vampires, and it's not by me. I know, right? What are the odds? (It sounds good though; I'm probably going to pick up the first in the series on pay day but that's by the by).

The point is, given the eerie similarities between my book and this one, we've decided a title change is in order. So BLOOD HUNT, the second book in the Urban Wolf series, is now going to be DARK HUNT. Yay! I have to say, I like it a lot. My editor suggested it along with a bunch of others, and it just jumped out at me. It still fits the mood and themes of the book perfectly.

So I guess I've just given away that there's some vampiric action in DARK HUNT. I don't want to say too much more about the plot because we've yet to put together an official blurb, but yes, there is a vampire and no, it doesn't sparkle, isn't sexy, and isn't looking for a soulmate to alleviate centuries of angsty loneliness. And that's all I'm saying about that.

So, to summarise! DARK HUNT, Urban Wolf book 2, coming 2011. Huzzahs!

*puts on post-it in sketchbook* Good to know for when I'm messing about with promo arts >_>

*jazz hands* I need to write some flash pieces for my promo. I've got an idea for when Glory met Joel, but so far I haven't managed to do more than say, "hey, fun idea!" to myself every now and then.

Anything with Glory is a good idea!

Sounds like it's a blessing in disguise!

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

I think so!

DARK HUNT is a superb title!

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

It's certainly better than either of my suggestions were!

That's gotta be frustrating! Dark Hunt is a great title, though. :)

A little... But I guess it's almost inevitable! I was joking with my fiance that Dark Blood Kiss of the Midnight Shadows would be the ultimate urban fantasy title - it hits all the common themes!

[hildebabble.livejournal.com]

Ha, love it! Sounds like a golden ticket idea!

Huh. It's so odd how two similar stories can sprout almost simultaneously. I like the new title, though. :)

[naomi-jay.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) It is weird though... I do wonder how many writers scrap ideas because they see something almost identical spring up elsewhere?

Plenty, I'm sure. It's pretty common. Happens tons in movies, too. For example, Deep Impact and Armageddon both came out at just about the same time, and they are both about meteors.
