Re-Visiting Starfire: What's in a Title?
Galactic Lore - Starfire - The Mending: Book 1 That's quite a mouthful for a title, and has raised some questions as to what the "real' title of the book is from time to time. But maybe that's because the title took a circuitous route to being created. And in honor of that I'll start in the middle. Starfire, the official title for this book wasn't it's first. During the earliest days of brainstorming and story discovery it was simply "Rathe's Tale". Mostly because I didn't know what the Macguffin for his journey would be. I knew I wanted it to be an object of power. But when I finally settled on the Starfire as the ultimate goal, the end title was just a no-brainer. Sure it doesn't imediately bring visions of weapon wielding dinosaurs to mind, but it does have a good air of adventure and science fiction goodness. With Starfire taking over the main title spot, Rathe's Tale fell to being the series header for a long time....
