Kyrnie again...or not

[marfisk]

And here you thought Kyrnie was done for a while...

Well, the big edit pass is, but I'm doing the final read through on Kyrnie to catch the stupid errors I missed...much for must, believe for belief...and do minor touch up.

The reason I'm making this post, though, is the book has a real title! I thought you all might be interested in that little fact. With few exceptions (such as When She Calls), my titles come much later...or maybe it's true for the older novels that I'm only just getting around to editing since the latest batch all came with titles up front.

What is it? Stop rambling? Oh, okay...

*drum roll please*

Shadows of the Sun

Falling back on my long-standing tradition of "of the" names, but this actually has neat resonance with the story. One of the three species, being Nismorani, Lirthans, and humans, is a theocracy based on sun worship. A major source of the conflict is the belief that the Nismorani are demons from the night rather than people in their own right.

Anyway, back to the read through. So far (at about half), it's going well and those late edit doubts are minimal :).

I like. And how delightfully oxymoronic!

Glad you like it. Oxymoronic? Yeah, I suppose so :D.

You mean it already has a title right from the beginning?

Well, I'm also a title-at-the-end writer. Of all my short stories and novel projects only one already has a title before it's finished--"Moon Orchid"--and it's not likely to be the first novel I finish because...well, there's Bailo and his goats.

Well, my short stories often have titles from the start that tend to stay on them usually. With my novels, if the title is a character name, it's just thrown up there. If it's actually something, then there's a better chance that it'll stay the title when I start submitting.
