. You may post as many different titles as you'd like.
Here’s a brief description of the series. Good luck! I can’t wait to read what you come up!
XXXOOO PC
The books are set in a time of rebirth. The modern world as we know it has completely self-destructed and those left behind have changed…evolved…bonding with the few plants and animals that have also survived.
These people live simple lives in the forest and on the plains using the sun and the moon as their sources of power. They draw down the energy of day and night, and are fed, body and spirit, by the two opposites, and by the Earth herself.
At the heart of the first book is a young female protagonist, born illegitimately of two enemy tribes. She has been hidden away her whole life until heartbreaking circumstances force her to find the courage to accept herself and her destiny.
If this new realm of survivors are going to reclaim their humanity they must seek inventive solutions to rebuild themselves and their world while encountering adversity, love, and loss set against a stark background of breathtaking beauty that holds both life and death.

This is so amazing that you are giving fans a chance to help you name your series. I can't wait to check it out. My suggestions: Earth Evolved or Evolved Earth; Humanity Reborn; or The Sun, Moon, & Earth (series/saga/trilogy). I'll post again if my imagination comes up with more.
I agree with Eve I love all of you're books and I'm excited to read this one.
Some names for this series could be..,
*Rising Hope
*Human Nature
*Forces of Nature
*The Hidden
and my favorite... Bound by Gaia (series/saga/trilogy)
Will comment again if i think of something better :)

Hmmm, maybe I will think of more later.

Im horrible at names and so forth but a few that have come through my head are; Earths Day, Turning Earth, Nights Day, Days Night, Planet Revolution, Spirit Planet, The Dark side of Earth, Two-faced Earth, Earth Reborn.

If i think of more i shall comment
Thankyou
I love the depth you go to; I love books that make me think! I'm thrilled to participate here, thank you!
My ideas so far are:
1) Homo ecfectus - I like this because many of your readers will immediately think of the apocalyptic disaster, but the educated (or your readers who are particularly curious) will discover the meaning behind the Latin: "amounted to, born, brought about, built, caused, complete, created, effect, execution, finished, formed, made, made up, produced, realization, recouped, result, worked out, yielded" (shortened list from wordHIPPO.com)
2) Lu'um uh k’íin (Earth, Moon, Sun in Mayan) or
3) Tumben Lu'um (New Earth)
4) The Tri-Plenary
5) Biosphere Ge
6) Inalienable Destiny
Well, best post this...could spend a very long time coming up with ideas! lol
Couple more ideas!
Aural-morphed
Feral Sprouts
More IDEAS, Lights of the Sky, Gaia/Gaea's(?) Children, Children of Gaea, Work of time, Terranova, Earths Children, Earths Changings, Children of Apollo/Helios and Selene (or other gods of the moon/sun/earth)
There are a few more :P

Nature morphed (or morphing)
Earth Reawakened
Animal Instincts

Heart of Nature (or Earth)
Harmony of Nature

Here is a few for now i'm totally overflowing with ideas and I love the idea of possibly getting to name a series so even if not chosen I will put any I think would work for it. Best of luck to everyone.
1) Regrowth
2) Solitude
3) Connected
Hope this helps (:
What an amazing idea!!! I can't put into words how much your writing means to me or what it makes me feel because these lives I've lived with all of them (the books and the characters) are sometimes to big for me to put into words. So reading this I felt like I had to give it a shot, so here goes:
-Moonbearers and Sunscrapers (or the other way around)
-Harvesters of Light / Harvesters of Father Sun and Mother Moon
-Selene (Artemis) and Phoebus (Apollon) intertwined -- short explanation: there are so many names to the greek and roman Goddess of Moon and God of Sun, the golden twins of mount olypmus Artemis and Apollon and these are rather unknown names for the two of them, I often think they are old and sometimes forgotten but still important like the immortal spirit of the earth
-Earth kissed awake -- open to two different interpretations as earth was kissed awake or earth did/will kiss someone awake
-Caught between dusk and dawn / destined from dusk to dawn / awakened by dusk and dawn
-Enlightened or ablaze
-Replenished by Earth / Sun/ Moon
Thx so much for this fun opportunity to live vicariously through a favorite author!
- Rebirth
- Love Evolved
- Hidden Destiny
Hi,
First off I think this is an amazing idea and am loving the new book already!
I'm not great at naming things but here we go...
1) Earth Bound
2) Earth Born
3) Earth's Daughter
4) Caught In A Fold (Took this idea from an amazing song of the same name by a band called Mostly Autumn who are really good at spiritual sounding names and I thought this suited perfectly)
And no matter what name you chose I will read the series and I know I will love it! Making space on the book shelf as we speak!
Hi,
I love the idea! Here are my suggestions:
Earth Evolving
Earth Ascending
Earth Everlasting
Destiny Ascending
Destiny Evolved/Evolving
Destiny Everlasting
New Beginnings
Elemental Rebirth
Interconnected
Priestess Awakening
The Awakening
Elemental Awakening
The Awakening of Self ... though that sounds a bit self-help-ish
Vision of Enlightenment
The Birthplace
At one with the world
I am Elemental
Dryad Girl
Forest Priestess
The New Frontier of Spirituality
Spiritual Awakenings
Earthbound Spirit
Earthbound Priestess
Revamp
Thanks for the opportunity! Jules
Hi,
I think this is a fantastic idea, giving your fans a chance to name your new series. I'm no good with naming books my self, but I do like;
'Evolved'and
'Changing'.
xoxoxo
Excellent idea!
My suggestion is Genesis Rising or maybe Genesis Reborn?
Thanks Gia
My series title suggestion is:
"Photosynthesis".
It is the means in which all life is ultimately sustained, as every living creature eats plants or eats animals who ate plants. Some of the first life forms in the history of evolution were likely life forms who survived using photosynthesis, so it fits in with the sort of re-evolution theme, not to mention getting energy from the sun and moon, and being closely associated with plants and the forest. =]
I was trying to step away from the word 'earth' as it's in the title of the first book, so here are few more of my ideas,
New Life,
New Beginnings,
Re-born,
Life Re-born,
Life Evolved,
Life Re-written.
xoxoxo
