God help me, but I decided to enter Undercover Siren for an award.

Woo! Four chapters (10k words) in the bag today. :D We're now at 39 chapters plus prologue, 100.6k total words. :D And I'm exhausted.

I need one more main chapter and then the epilogue, after which I'll begin editing. My title is either "The Children of Today" or "The Adults of Tomorrow" - it crept up on me while writing chapter 39. I'm leaning toward the former, with the latter being for Book 10... any opinions? :)

Well, Amazon would not let me write a review of Squire Hayseed. So what if it hasn't been published yet?

How about: "The Next Generation." "These Kids Today." "Adults Only." "Galaxy Spawn." "It's 2022: Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?" "Planet of the Deadly Volcanoes."

Actually, of the two choices, I'd be more inclined to go with "Adults of Tomorrow." "Children of Today" sounds too much like Children of the Galaxy.

Yeah that was my main concern with it. :) There's a lot of stuff about kids stepping up to the plate, etc, so probably Adults of Tomorrow is more descriptive.

And with another 4.6k words as I'm off work today, book 9 is ready for editing. :) Better get the cover done this afternoon...

I figure I'll publish the paperback a few weeks before the ebook drops to help people leave reviews. I'm waiting for an image to add.
