Help Me Name My New Book
 

Okay, so I recently received the first sales report for my second book, "Old Ghosts of New England," and the results were impressive - a lot better than expected, actually. I now feel completely justified in pitching a follow-up volume to the publisher.

"Old Ghosts" was a travel guide to (supposedly) haunted places in the New England states; the logical next step would be a similar book about a different region. I am thinking I might want to do a travel guide to the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania region - I think such a book would sell well.

My only hang-up right now is coming up with a title. "Old Ghosts of New England" came pretty naturally - the states-in-question had a pretty widely-used name (New England), and the Old/New balances out nicely. I would like to use a similar title for the new book, but this New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania region doesn't have the same kind of catchall name as New England.

So, I'm open to suggestions: "Old Ghosts of the New World" seems a little too broad, "Old Ghosts of New Amsterdam (or York or Jersey)" seems too narrow. I don't have to use the "Old Ghosts..." lead-in, but I do like it. I'm totally open to suggestions here.

If any of you DO, in fact, help me out here, you would obviously get a "thank you" on the acknowledgements page. A slight reward, I know, but at least it's something... :)

"Old Ghosts" looked like a very good book. I didn't read through the whole thing but I read a few of the stories in the autographed copy I got from CJ for my scoutmaster that grew up in that area.

Congratulations, btw, well done.

Old Ghosts and their Mid-Atlantic Hosts?

I think continuing the "Old Ghosts" is a good idea, to tie into the success of the first book.

How about "Old Ghosts of the Eastern Seaboard"

or "Old Ghosts of the Northeast" maybe flows better.

Old Ghosts Gone Wild

sorry I can't help. I don't believe in ghosts.

Good luck with your book(s) though, that's great news!

I like the gone south sound though;
perhaps "Old Ghosts, Southern Version"

Cheers!

I like this one!

SO CJ, have you seen/experienced any 'other-worldly' things?

I think you should stick with (and copyright) the "old ghosts" motif. How about "Old Ghosts of the Mid-Atlantic?"

This Old Ghost

(but "the dopplegangs of new york" is the winner AFAIC
