Title Search Continues…

I’m trying to come up with a title for my next book in my Northern Shore Intrigue book, the last one in the series, #6. It takes place in Midsummer and I need a good “dangerous” sounding title. Many of you sent me suggestions but some were “lovely” but not “dangerous!” Here are the three I was most struck by:

Treacherous Midsummer

Sinister Midsummer

Ominous Midsummer

So which one do you favor? Please leave a comment and give your vote for your favorite. Again, I will choose a few to gift ebooks to. Thanks!

I know what you mean! Mosquitoes UGH!
Lyn Cote on August 8, 2021 at 17:18 said:

But nobody dies!
Lyn Cote on August 6, 2021 at 16:25 said:

Actually that is my working title!
Kandy on August 5, 2021 at 21:10 said:

How about Menacing Midsummer?
Peggy Wegermann on August 2, 2021 at 18:07 said:

Ominous Midsummer

Ominous Midsummer
Lynette Alshanski on July 29, 2021 at 01:06 said:

Sinister Midsummer

This makes me feel like something horrible is going to happen.
Cathy Crocker on July 28, 2021 at 19:23 said:

How about apocalyptic midsummer. That tops my 2nd choice Ominous midsummer!
Kimberly Belden on July 28, 2021 at 01:16 said:

Out of those Treacherous Midsummer is my favorite.
But I also like Perilous Midsummer
And Traitorous Midsummer.
Good luck!

Treacherous Midsummer
Sherrie Wood on July 27, 2021 at 18:54 said:

Ominous Midsummer because you never know what will hit you and this one works the best
Amber Kuehn on July 27, 2021 at 16:54 said:

Treatcherous Midsummer
Kay Zaugg on July 27, 2021 at 15:06 said:

I like Treacherous Midsummer the best out of the three.
Susan Jalosky on July 27, 2021 at 14:08 said:

Ominous Midsummer
Pam on July 27, 2021 at 12:48 said:

Treacherous Midsummer sounds dangerous to me.
Jo Ann Rentrop on July 27, 2021 at 12:35 said:

None of those were of interest to me.
I emailed you two Suggestions
Lori Smanski on July 27, 2021 at 11:59 said:

I like: Midsummer Eve Nightmare and: Treacherous Midsummer
Nancy on July 26, 2021 at 20:09 said:

I don’t particularly care for any of them. How about something like Midsummer Eve Nightmare?
Lyn Cote on July 24, 2021 at 14:10 said:

Don’t I get any poetic license??? ‘-)
Anne Hardy on July 24, 2021 at 12:20 said:

I don’t like any of them. There might be Treachery at Midsummer, but it’s not Midsummer that’s treacherous or ominous or whatever.
Lyn Cote on July 24, 2021 at 10:21 said:

But no one gets murdered! ‘-)
Teresa R on July 22, 2021 at 21:02 said:

Treacherous would be my pick
Jean on July 22, 2021 at 00:18 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer as it sounds dangerous.
Pat Solla on July 21, 2021 at 21:45 said:

I’m new to your newsletter. I picked Sinister Midsummer. But I really thought A Midsummer Night’s Murder sounded pretty good to me.
Mary Bailey on July 21, 2021 at 08:33 said:

I like Treacherous Midsummer of the three to choose from.
bn100 on July 21, 2021 at 08:25 said:

Sinister Midsummer
Patricia Wong on July 21, 2021 at 01:00 said:

Treacherous Midsummer
Jenny T on July 20, 2021 at 21:20 said:

I’m actually not fond of any of the choices, but I guess I would pick Treacherous Midsummer. Not sure if these suggestions were already eliminated- Malicious Midsummer, Midsummer Nightmare, Malevolent Midsummer
Linda Ferguson on July 20, 2021 at 21:18 said:

Treacherous Midsummer (It implies the danger and keeps one hanging there)
Jackie on July 20, 2021 at 19:33 said:

Treacherous Midsummer. Sounds awesome together
Becki Svare on July 20, 2021 at 18:10 said:

I like Sinister Midsummer. Not only does it roll of the tongue nicely, but it goes well with the rest of the series titles.
Glenda M on July 20, 2021 at 18:09 said:

I’m leaning towards Sinister Midsummer. Although Mosquito Midsummer does sound like a horror story to me. 😉
Linda Spatuzzi on July 20, 2021 at 18:05 said:

Treacherous Midsummer gets my vote.
Natalya Lakhno on July 20, 2021 at 17:57 said:

Sinister Midsummer has the element of intrigue to it!
Ausjenny on July 20, 2021 at 17:55 said:

Treacherous Midsummer sounds good to me (I struggle to say ominous properly and when there are words that are tricky to say it distracts me)
Mary Tucker on July 20, 2021 at 17:46 said:

Ominous Midsummer – pretty much says everything…and gives not much away. Now I want to know what why…etc.
Stephanie H. on July 20, 2021 at 17:17 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer because it seems to be a more intriguing and a riveting title for a book.
Elisabeth Dibble on July 20, 2021 at 16:50 said:

I like Sinister Midsummer the best.
Jane Sprando on July 20, 2021 at 16:39 said:

I Ike Sinister Midsummer for the alliteration.
Misty on July 20, 2021 at 15:59 said:

Treacherous Midsummer sounds better together.
Sinister Midsummer is okay too.
Leigh on July 20, 2021 at 15:49 said:

Treacherous Midsummer. Seems to go with the other titles in the series and lends itself to a variety of dangerous situations related to midsummer.
Linda George on July 20, 2021 at 15:17 said:

I like Sinister Midsummer because of the s sounds of Sinister and summer just have a dangerous vibe together.
Glenda on July 20, 2021 at 15:06 said:

Ominous Midsummer is my first choice followed by Treacherous Midsummer a distant second.
Shelia Hall on July 20, 2021 at 14:43 said:

Treacherous Midsummer is my pick!
Beverly Clites on July 20, 2021 at 14:00 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer the best. It sounds more mystifying to me.
Paula Shreckhise on July 20, 2021 at 13:54 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer the best. I haven’t seen it used often in titles.
Sherry on July 20, 2021 at 13:44 said:

Ominous midsummer
Julia Cockroft on July 20, 2021 at 13:38 said:

Ominous Midsummer
Marilyn A Liles on July 20, 2021 at 13:34 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer. It makes me think about the suspense of the unexpected or bad thing that is going to happen anytime.
Dana Carrier on July 20, 2021 at 12:58 said:

Of the three, I like Treacherous Midsummer. But… (there’s always a but, isn’t there?) the three titles are awkward and a lot more dramatic than the other five books. You have Precarious, Bitter, Uncertain etc which to me indicate an emotion of the heroine. Something more personal… Deceitful, Deceptive, Perilous or something like Midsummer Deceit, Midsummer Peril. I believe the “feel” of a title is very important. This is just my opinion, I will read it regardless of what you call it.
Sandy Edwards on July 20, 2021 at 12:56 said:

I like “Ominous Midsummer”. Ominous gives the impression something’s going to happen, but what?
Dianne on July 20, 2021 at 12:51 said:

Treacherous Midsummer gets my vote!
Sharon Clark on July 20, 2021 at 12:30 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer the best.
Leslie on July 20, 2021 at 12:19 said:

I like Treacherous Midsummer. You could have fun with writing that one.
Colleen C. on July 20, 2021 at 12:12 said:

My vote goes to Ominous Midsummer
Anne Rightler on July 20, 2021 at 12:10 said:

Of those three I like ominous best. I like the two m sounds together. And in saying that I also like Cheryls suggestion in her comment, Menacing Midsummer.
Valerie Dix on July 20, 2021 at 11:59 said:

“Ominous Midsummer” There is nothing truly more “dangerous” sounding as “Ominous”
Shannon Wesson on July 20, 2021 at 11:50 said:

I like Sinister Midsummer 1
DiAnna Corrigan on July 20, 2021 at 11:48 said:

I like Treacherous Midsummer
S on July 20, 2021 at 11:28 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer. Also from the other comments, I like Perilous Midsummer.
Debbie A. on July 20, 2021 at 11:18 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer
Michelle Leverette on July 20, 2021 at 11:13 said:

Ominous Midsummer
Lisa on July 20, 2021 at 11:07 said:

I prefer Ominous Midsummer…that leads to so many questions about what could be going on and how bad will it become?
Debbie T. on July 20, 2021 at 11:05 said:

I prefer Ominous Midsummer
Vickie on July 20, 2021 at 10:59 said:

Sinister Midsummer. I also like Treacherous Midsummer but it’s like a tongue twister when saying it out loud. It would be easier to say Sinister Midsummer when recommending it to a friend to read.
Bridgette on July 20, 2021 at 10:40 said:

Sinister Midsummer
Vanessa Chaney on July 20, 2021 at 10:36 said:

I love treacherous midsummer. You don’t hear that word too often.
patricia rose on July 20, 2021 at 10:23 said:

i like treacherous midsummer of the three
Adaiah LaVonda on July 20, 2021 at 10:17 said:

I like Ominous Midsummer. You can feel the threa, but you don’t know why, or where the threat is coming from.
Chris Kline on July 20, 2021 at 10:05 said:

Ominous Midsummer
Cheryl Arcemont on July 18, 2021 at 19:05 said:

But I do like Treacherous Midsummer of the three mentioned.
Cheryl Arcemont on July 18, 2021 at 19:03 said:

Menacing Midsummer.
Vicious Midsummer.
(my favorite) Perilous Midsummer
