One of the things that I’ve found about myself is that I have more trouble thinking of a name for my books than I have actually writing them. This is how the other book names came about.
A Rocky Path – this was my first novel and the name wasn’t as hard. Because there is a literal rocky path in this book, but the MCs also were going down a figurative rocky path
Club Blood – Zoe Winters actually picked this one
See Me – a sudden inspiration based on a note that was found by the MC
Starfane – I tried and tried to think up something for this one. I kept trying to figure out something about the MC going through the mural, etc. I kept calling it the Starfane book so I would just have something to call it. Starfane is the world she finds through the mural. So somehow the name just stuck. And it was simple.
Ok, here’s the problem. I’ve tried and tried to come up with a name for my WIP. Very brief synopsis: Female MC sees something she shouldn’t, people are trying to kill her, she doesn’t remember what she saw, father hires a bodyguard, bodyguard is a vampire (she doesn’t know it, but the readers do), he tries to keep her safe but they keep being found, etc.
Anyway, I would love to hear some brainstorming from some of you awesome authors out there. Just any title that comes to mind. I keep trying to incorporate the word “bodyguard” or “protector” into the title, but that’s not set in stone. Come on, I need some help! I don’t want to get this novella written, only to be held up by a title. If I see the right title, I’ll know it almost immediately. So throw some things at me, even if you think they sound silly, and let’s see what we can come up with.

I still think you should go with the title I came up with: “This Job Sucks!” hahahahaha!
Anyway, I know you will come up with something great, just hang in there!
Yeah, that was pretty funny when you first suggested it. LOL
I may come up with something. Or one of my author friends may find the title instead. Who knows?
Or maybe one of my reader friends. LOL
I totally suck because what came to mind?
Guarding Dinner.
Also: My Bloody Bodyguard
Vampire for Hire
Logan’s Blood?
Susan, Guarding Dinner? Hahahaha. I had actually thought about My Bloody Bodyguard. A good thing about having the word “bloody”, “blood”, or “vampire” in the title is that it makes it more searchable in the genre. And since the reader knows pretty quickly that he’s vampire, it wouldn’t give it away. Keep throwing your thoughts my way any time you think of something. I’m going to have to make a decision soon. I may be wrong about “knowing the right one when I see it”. I may just have to sit down and look at everything and decide.
Jon, that title sounds good, but it’s not really about his blood, but about him being a vampire; and they take someone else’s blood.
Ok, so I’ve been thinking and I’ve come up with a couple:
Dark Protector
Guarding Her Heart: Vampire Bodyguard
I’ll keep thinking!
Anya, those are good, too. See, you guys come up with good titles.
Oh well, hopefully I’m getting better at book covers than I am with titles. 🙂
Anya, with your new program, you should be able to get better and better. We might even revamp some old ones. LOL
I can’t wait to see what you do with my WIP.
Btw, when you logged in, you put a period between your first and last name, so it thought you were a new commenter, and I had to approve your comment. Hahahahaha.
How To Be a Vampire Bodyguard
Or since this guy can’t keep her safe for long, which sounds funny to me . . .
Protect Me From My Vampire Bodyguard
Or
Keep Me Safe
Thanks Andrew. Actually, he is keeping her safe, even though they keep being found. There’s a reason they are being tracked. And there might be a point where she’s not so safe from her bodyguard….
I kind of like the “Keep Me Safe” title. I’ve been trying to use “bodyguard” or “protector” in the title, but “safe” makes sense, too.
Safe with My Vampire
Vampire Protector
The Vampire Who Guards My Body
Undead Protection
Escorted by the Undead
Guarded by a Vamp
Not So Safe Guard
Dangerous Protector
Dangerous Savior
Vampire Guardian/Guardian Vampire
Vampire Gallant
Vampire Shield
Susan, what a list! There are several of these that are really good. Thanks so much for giving me so much to choose from. Right now, I’m really liking Guardian Vampire. It’s like Guardian Angel. Only not. LOL. I had also thought of Vampire Protector before and kind of liked that one, too.
You’re welcome!
