Honestly, I think any title will do, as long as it's followed by these words, "A Repairman Jack Novel".

Ha ha ha! That's right.

So.....how about "Repairman Jack part X"? Not "10", it's "X". :p

Did anyone suggest "Portents"?

I mentioned "Signs and Portents," which was the title of an episode of Babylon 5, and also the title for Season One of the same. "Portents" by itself is not bad at all.

Some good quotes regarding portents...

Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame. These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope, They do not point on me.
--William Shakespeare, Othello the Moor of Venice (Desdemona at V, ii)

If dreams can be portents of what is to come, then I had my fair share if forewarning before my life was stolen away.
--Charles de Lint, Trader

In Julisu Caesar, Act 1, scene iii, Shakespeare makes great use of dreams and portents--
CASCA:
A common slave—you'd know him well by sight—
Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn
Like twenty torches join'd, and yet his hand
Not sensible of fire remain'd unscorch'd.
Besides,—I ha' not since put up my sword,—
Against the Capitol I met a lion,
Who glared upon me, and went surly by,
Without annoying me: and there were drawn
Upon a heap a hundred ghastly women,
Transformed with their fear; who swore they saw
Men, all in fire, walk up and down the streets.
And yesterday the bird of night did sit
Even at noonday upon the marketplace,
Howling and shrieking. When these prodigies
Do so conjointly meet, let not men say
"These are their reasons; they are natural";
For I believe they are portentous things
Unto the climate that they point upon.

Yeah, I had Portents as a suggestion in post #17. I have to say that I think Harbingers trumps it, though. Really wish I'd thought of that....

Sounds good to me too. In Japanese, we call it "Mushi no shirase".

By the way, I've never seen Paul's book's titles included "ing".

By the way, you finished writing RJ10? When do you publish it? :confused:




Sorry for quick-temper....

Exactly. All I know is they are hard-hearted and deal in hagus.

And are named Harriet.

That movie has some great lines.

That one was one of mine, too (see post #19, I think). You can tell the thread is getting long.
