What’s in a name?

Way back in 2009, I came up with the series title “The Arcana Chronicles” to tell  the story of Symon Bryson a magical Practitioner in the modern world.

The first in the Series—The Prodigal’s Foole—has been fairly well received as a novel, an origin story and a good old-fashioned horror tale.

In recent months, I’ve become aware that New York Times best selling author Kresley Cole has come out with her own series of the same name.

Both series are fantasies and both series use the Tarot as a basis for the stories.

In order to avoid confusion, I have decided to change the name of my series moving forward.  Some names I’ve come up with are off to the LEFT in a poll—Would love your input toward the final decision.

Let me be clear:  The change is MY choice.  Although I have reached out to Ms. Cole, I have neither heard from her, her agent nor any attorneys in this matter.

I’m assuming it’s because I do not make a big enough blip on the radar screen of the literary world.

But I don’t write to make money.  I write because I love to tell stories—and some of you seem to like the way I tell them.

In the meantime, let’s figure out—together—the new title for my series so I can move on to book two.

Peace, love and hair grease-
