New contest -- Name Raine's 6th book

I'm writing the second draft of Raine's 5th adventure -- Con & Conjure -- and kudos to Jo for the fabulous title! I'll be starting the 6th book this summer, and I always like to have a title before I start a book. And since you all sent such great entries in the last title contest, I'm doing it again.

Book 6 will take place entirely in the goblin capital of Regor, home of the goblin royal court. I'd like to keep the format of the title the same as in previous books. Either four words like: Magic Lost, Trouble Found or The Trouble With Demons. Or separated by "&": Armed & Magical, Bewitched & Betrayed or Con & Conjure. Heck, you can even try to come up with two words that begin with a "D" to keep the alphabetical progression going. And no, Dungeons & Dragons will not be a winning option. ; )

I was thinking something with a goblin tone. Goblins live for intrigue and conspiracy; they're manipulative, deceptive, seductive, and secretive. You get the picture.

And if you think of a title that doesn't fall into the guidelines -- send it anyway. A lot of the time the best options come from outside the box. And you can send as many entries as you'd like.
Email them to me at lisa @ lisashearin.com. Delete the spaces before and after the "@" before sending the email. I insert spaces whenever I type my email address in a blog, otherwise the evil spambots pick up on it and besiege me with Viagra sales pitches. I've never understood why I get emails pitching a pill for a body part I don't even have.

And by the way, put "Name Raine's sixth book" in the subject line.

The winner will get his or her name in the Acknowledgments section of Book 6 and I'll send them some really cool Bewitched & Betrayed book goodies.

The deadline for entries is Friday, February 12, and I'll announce the winner on Monday, February 15.

Have fun with it!
Lisa

Can't suggest `Dungeons and Dragons'? Aww, man! Being serious now, a book set in the Goblin capitol. That. Sounds. So. Awesome!
