We are moving so we may not be online starting Saturday. We hope that internet access will be restored early next week, but you never know. While we are gone, the lady above needs a title for her novella, in which she and her daughter will be going to Arland’s home planet to meet his mom, thwart political plots, and generally kick butt. You have from now until we come back to think of a cool title.
The winner of the title will receive a collector edition of Innkeeper Chronicles, which includes previous titles of Clean Sweep, Sweep in Peace, and One Fell Sweep.
We would like to keep the Sweep theme in the title, but if you think of something else that’s brilliant, go for it. If you read a title you like in the comments, please comment with +1, so we will know which titles are popular. We will gather ten favorites and let you vote on the title you like the best.
See you next week. We hope.
My suggestion is: Second Sweep.
This is Maud’s second chance at love and a life that she adores with the man and people she has chosen.
Good luck moving. May it go quickly and may your internet be hooked up promptly!

So there is try my title

Sweepstakes?
You may need to include some gambling but it also works- ’cause vampires.
One Fell Sweep? Fell, as in terrible, great, terrifying. Not: I fell help (although, help, he/she swept me off my feet and I fell in love!!!- teehee)
That was the title of the last book
Second Chance Sweep is my 2 cents worth! And good luck with the movie, it will suck…lol

I was so excited I forgot the title! “Blood Sweep”
I’m not sure it makes sense but there you have it.
That was going to be my suggestion as well. :p “Blood sweep” is a medical term for checking a patient for external bleeding. So there would be multiple meanings to such a title, on top of the vampire theme. I think that would work very well with the theme and also sound suitably badass.
+1 Hehehe.

Only thing that comes to mind is Spring Cleaning. Not sure why ?

Swept House (since she’s taking care of Vampire house politics)
Swept away would be my entry!
How about “Sweeping Victory”?

Vampire swept away
“Swept Away” – for keeping the sweep theme, and Arland is taking Maud to his home so it fits that. But I also was thinking about the political aspects you mentioned and came up with “Strange Bedfellows” both from the political idiom and for the fact that from the outside it probably seems like a odd pairing.
This gives me Spirited Away vibes.

I really like Swept Away. But I feel like “sweep” is much more of a Dina thing. Dina, with her broom, her inn, her words, her magic, gently (or forcefully if the need arises) sweep things away or into order. But Maud has never been described as gentle when handling issues and she always seems to prefer the direct hands on approach as plan A (the revenge at Karhari, kool-aid, joining the fight on the ground at the last draziri battle, etc) So keeping with a clean theme, but with a rougher, no nonsense, more hands on twist, my nomination is

Not a “Sweep” title but given it’s Maud, so I assume there’ll be some fighting, I have to go for “Blood Sword”.
I agree with giving Maud her own spin on the ‘Sweep.’ I vote:

Just because this is a chance for them both to start over on every level. Plus it ties in with the title Clean Sweep, they are synonyms of each other. The same yet different just like Dina and Maud are.

I like this for an Officer Marais side story title. Or perhaps a main-series volume that he plays a much bigger part in? Not that we’ve had any indication from the Authorlords we’ll ever get such a thing… but now that he’s “in the know” who knows what might happen?

I like the idea of Maud getting Swept, and when I first read about it that was the same thing that popped in my head.
Swept Back

Common Sweep
Sweep Anew:
Sweep Again:
Sweep Afresh:
Because this is a new beginning for Maud which she is approaching in a new much more positive way and that is exactly what all of these words mean.
Since it’s a novella:
– Side Sweep
– Sweep Aside (A play on the “Step aside, I will take care of this” which I can totally see both Arland and Maud saying to each other in the midst of a crisis, lol)
Good luck with the move!
I love “Sweep Aside”.
There’s also the political angle:
Sweep to Victory
Sweep the Board
Sweep into Office
Maybe with past tense to set aside the minis from the main series? Or does that sound oddly passive?
Swept into Power, etc. ?

Wishing you a great beginning to a long and happy life in your new home!
A New Broom Sweeps Clean – Because we know Maude is going to clean the clock of anyone who tries to hurt her kid.
A lot of “Sweep” going on here, all of them pretty darn good. When anyone asks about what to name something the Boaty Mc Boatface kerfuffle comes to mind.
Sweepy Mc Sweepface is obviously out, so I went with a little different direction, going with the idea that Clean Sweep means a new start as opposed to complete victory, Maud is on new path and trying to get rid of old baggage that keeps her from, well, living.
so I’m going with
Shake Out
Final sweep
Intergalactic Sweep
Sweep Swipe (sword attack across the body)
or

we all know that Maud will be using her sword at some point

While I love the idea of a Maud novella, I am looking forward to Dina’s story even more which is why I want an obvious difference. In my opinion this novella is more of a spin-off than a continuation of the innkeeper series.
+1 for Swept Aside
+1
+1 for Swept away
I really like the idea of distinguishing between Dinas and Mauds story. It’s just that the passive doesn’t seem to suit Maud in my opinion. She ist not really the damsel in distress that is swept anywhere or anyhow.
Swept is also the past tense.
As in “She swept in and took over the Holy anocracy and House Krahr.” 😉 It wasn’t the first thing I thougt of, but you are right, of course. I like that better. Thank you. 🙂
Used with up in, away in, or off her feet, its definitely passive.

+1 I like your idea of distinguishing Maud from Dina, but still keeping it in the family. Swept in Two is my favorite, because it has several connotations. It could be either favorable or not, depending on how the story goes, especially if this is a continuing story.
I just can’t get the hang of these replies. I was replying to Pam’s initial comment, but somehow it didn’t work out that way.
I like this idea too. I like Swept Aside because it connects to her past as well as her present story.

In honor of the Vampire state how about:
Sweeping Anarchy

or Cleaning House
“Cleaning House” is great! They’re going to kick butt together in Arlands house. All the traditional minded Vampires being skeptikal of Maud and saying snarky things. Hehe. Can’t wait.
They’ve got no chance against her, Helen und Arland. House Krahr is loosing the dust of their old prejudice and shaken from their comfy pillows of superiority. To quote Arland: She’s magnificent.
Said pillows are not a loss. They were old and ratty and tacky and really needed to be cleaned out. 😉
Also, it’s not a Dina novel, but “related” and fits the theme.
And sweeping isn’t really Mauds style, is it? She definitely gets the house clean, but maybe with the help of some groveling Vampire Lords, who lost a bet against her, or a flamethrower? That would be very hygienic, by the way. No germs would survive her, if she is out to get them.
+1
+1 for Cleaning House
+1 for Cleaning House
By the way, don’t you say a house is clean, when you are searching it and it’s free of hidden enemies or traps? Since they are going against political plots, it fits. Also, since it is kind of military slang, Arland and Lord Soren would approve.

Absolute sweep
No more sweep or swept. Maud is a different person, so ….Forging a new blade.
Because, I would love such a gift from him to her.
Mopping up.
Because of the blood that will surely ensine.
Who among the BDH is keeping a count? I have flipped through the suggestions a couple of times. It seems variations of Swept Away, Sweep Stakes and Sword Swept are among the leaders. This has attracted a lot of interest. There is about a week to go. So much fun!
Don’t forget Cleaning House.
The funniest one I have seen is around number 1,800. The comment said, since all the sweep and swept titles have been used, just call it George because we can hold, hug it and love it.
Side Swept
Because it’s an aside to the original storyline and because I’m sure Maud will feel somewhat side-swept by whatever shenanigans Arland and her daughter get her into
A Sweep of Violence
A variation with the ‘Sweep’ Theme …
1) A Brush with Intrigue
2) A Sweep of the Blade
Maud’s strength is with her bloodsword, so…
1) One Clean Stroke
2) see #2 above
I like A SWEEP OF THE BLADE since it sorta keeps the “sweep” theme but Maud certainly uses the blade instead of the broom!

I like a sweep of the blade. Such a fantastic series – just love it.
Leg Sweep
Sweeping with the Enemy
Sweep Swipe Swept
Swept Behind
Swept the Foiled
a play on “sweep the floor” since Maud will “thwart political plots, and generally kick butt” and foiled means disappointingly unsuccessful; disappointed expectations; referring to the political plots being thwarted.
sorry for the image! I thought I was choosing my icon not putting it in my comments. *face palm*
Return Sweep (cause Maude will be returning)
“Swept or Slashed” or “Sweep or Slash” (in case Dina accompanies Maude)
Last Sweep (if Maude vows never to return)
Sweep All Houses Clean (for corruption in other Vampire houses)
Sweep Together (if Maude & Arland & Helen bond before they arrive and Helen still has some relatives)
New Broom (if Maude starts an Inn for Vampire Visitors – lots of story lines there)
This is fun. Thanks for the entertainment!!
Nah. Maude doesn’t fit as an Innkeeper anymore. Helen though? She’s a natural with Gertrude Hunt and could start the first Inn in the Holy Anocracy, you know, eventually.

Here’s a few, hoping to play off ‘weep’ rather than ‘sleep’. I feel like Innkeeper vampires wouldn’t have as much cultural repression of male tears as we do. Stoicism in the face of battle, enemies, death, and in public, yes, but I wonder about Lord Soren raising young Arland to understand his emotions, if only to use them for manipulation when needed.
Sweep for the Heroes – pulled from an Abram J. Ryan poem about Confederate ‘martyrs’. The Holy Anocracy is definitely an honour-culture, and Maude is from the South, right?
Sweep Over the Heroes – J. W. Turner composition with Charles Butler lyrics, also from the Civil War era.

My vote is that you go with “Scour” instead of “Sweep.” Still a cleaning theme, but a tad grittier, which is kind of how I see Maud compared to Dina. She’s just lived a little bit more life. So.

or
Scoured Clean

Star Swept
Sweep the Stars
Something that indicates it is the same Dina universe but as it’s Maud, she gets in amongst it all, travelling through the starry sky (without that slight detachment Dina has from her Inn). And if even a star did get in her way, she’d sweep it aside with her sword.
Oh or

+1 Star Swept
Side Sweep
Side Swept
A play on sideswipe. Something that can be done with a sword… and because we all know Maude is going to go in to House Krahr and blindside them, too. Plus, it is a side story of the Innkeeper series in which Maude should still be linked because she carries the genes that allow her to command an inn (so she can still sweep if/when she wants/needs to).
But I also like
Swordswept +1
because it plays well on those same themes I mentioned above for my own contenders…:)

Quantum Sweep
Sweep of Faith
Both “leap” phrases with sweep replacing it
Both because this is a huge step for Maud, definitely a sweeping change from her attitude toward another vampire rationship and that leap of faith that Arland is and will remain a steady element in her life and for Helen.
Of course there is always “Look before you Sweep” since she IS meeting the MOTHER

Sweeping Circle?
My English isn’t good. So my interpration is like this:
Circle;
“repeatation”
Once again Maude will follows a love-interest to once again a Vampire planet…
“boundary”
…and once again be the alien/outsider among the fangy-folks.
Sweeping;
“expanding or extending”
What she shares with her vampire this time wouldn’t be a mere gloshy, wonderful romance. But love bound by sacred and abiding commitment. And the planet wouldn’t be just a place to where she lived. But home.
“removing or erasing”
Becaus she isn’t the same Maude from before. And this time, instead of taking what the vampires dished at her, it will be the other way, as it’s sound like they will be playing by her rules!
How about “Swept Up” ?

Thinking that Maud is going to get a little of her revenge from the mistreating of her past vamp clan while conquering and charming Arlands familly. And of course there must be some kind of twist that my brain can’t imagine but is gushing to read!!!

Tempest Swept
Love sweeps all
Fell swoop or fell sweep
Unswept
Because Maude makes her own decisions, and refuses to be sidelined or swept away. Fainting helpless princess, she ain’t. When an innkeeper makes up their mind they can be pretty much unmovable… and even though she isn’t *officially* an innkeeper she’s from a family of them and totally as strong as one.
Also it sounds like House Krahr is pretty (metaphorically) dusty and could use a good sweeping.

I’ve +1’d this suggested title three times now in three different comments, so I thought I’d say why. Dina is an Innkeeper; her symbol is a broom, so the ‘Sweep’ theme makes sense. Maud is the daughter of Innkeepers, but is not one herself. So ‘Swept Away’ keeps the connection to the ‘Sweep’ theme (daughter and sister of Innkeepers) while using ‘Away’ to distance her from Dina, Earth, and other Innkeepers. My $0.02 worth.
Sweeper’s Sword
I doubt these will go to any top 10, but i have fun with some associations.

This email is in response to the invitation to come up with title ideas for a novella about Maud. What do you think about “Claim and Keep”?
Maud’s an Innkeeper without an Inn so no broom. No broom, no sweeping. She is a Keeper with all the magic and potential for holding an Inn, but without the inclination. She’s not trying to keep a peaceful comfortable home, she’s a warrior. A warrior who already fought her war of revenge, now she will fight for her claim on Arland. If you end up liking this, it can play with other pairings: Keep in Peace, to Claim and Keep, Keep in Time, all plays on the word Keep, Keeper. For Mauds first novella, To Claim and Keep summed it up for me, I hope it works for you or at least sparks ideas that’ll get you what you need!
Best regards,

My Favorite would be a twist on Frost:
Miles to go before She Sweeps!
Maud Swept
Sorry if I repeat. I saw a similar one in first person, but liked this better. I confess, I didn’t get through all of Them!
I also liked:

Okay, I’m not voting for this as the name, but how hilarious is, “Dude, Where’s My Khrar?” LOL! I say it mentioned, not the original poster, but THANK YOU original poster, you made my evening.
I still like Sweeping for Keeps as a title.

Oh! I like Sweep the house. New favourite. +1

This is maybe not a great pick for a title but I remember Dina sarcastically referring to her sister as “Maud the Magnificent” after Maud clashes with Arland after he criticizes her for not letting Helen fight. After their fight he tells Dina “Your sister is magnificent.”
Somebody else suggested Broom and Board which may not apply to Maud but would definitely be a kickass title for the next Dina story now that she and Sean are both innkeepers together. I really liked that one! Can’t wait to see what the BDH comes up with, so many creative titles here. I personally think Sweepstakes might be a good fit which has already been suggested multiple times.

Sweeper Abroad

Smooth Sweep
Traveling Sweep
Also a thought: why not go with something involving brooms? Its related to sweeping (as Maud is related to Dina) but is still its own thing (as Maud most definitely is).
Along those lines:
Bloody Broom
Get Blood from a Broom (from the idiom ‘get blood from a stone’)
Broom Abroad
Brooms are thicker than blood
I also like ‘Maud Abroad’ because of the repeated sound ^_^
Good luck!
1. Sweepstakes of War
2. Sweeping change
3. When the dust settles
How about “Sweep Over”
Sounds a little like sleep over and a little like going over a cliff. Swept off your feet into a whirlwind of changes. Meeting new family can be like that.
I like it!

This is my first time leaving a comment. First, I love the Innkeeper series. I’m glad you’re going to develop Maud’s character and story.
Titles? What about “A Cutting Sweep” or “Home Sweep Home”?
One sweep, two sweep, three sweep , floor
“Guess Who’s Sweeping for Dinner”
“Star Swept”
“Sweep In The Family”
“Swept Away”

A Brush with Affection
Mop Up Duty
I was re-reading the part where Maud tells Dina she’d be with another Vampire “When Hell freezes over”. Understandable after her exile -and it got me thinking
about Maud seeking revenge on the mother-in-law’s House for exiling & erasing little Helen with the adults.
Now Maud is returning:
I originally thought
“Hell Sweeps In”, but then
“Swept Into Hell” seemed a more apt description of an exiles welcome home. It also is a great spring board for
“Swept Into Hell”
“Swept Into Battle”
“Swept Into Rebellion”
“Swept Into Nexus”
The “Swept Into —–” franchise is full of possibilities for Maud’s adventures with Helen and Arland. Kinda like the
“Magic —–” books were for Kate.
I don’t know how you’re going to narrow it down, there are so many good suggestions. +Fingers crossed for another long running series!
+1 I like the Hell Sweeps. Thats funny, she might be eating her words in this book

I like a lot already mentioned, but there are way too many for me to read all of them, so in case it hasn’t been covered…
Dina uses her broom and magic(and brain) as a weapon, Maud IS a weapon, so instead of Sweep in the title use Broom.

Sweeping beauty? ?
Whisked Away.
Seeing as Maud is very attached to (and skilled with) her sword…
Sweep play ? Sweepmanship ? Sweepwoman ?
Sweep of the Just
Sweeping with the Enemy
(Because Maud was never going to be with another vampire, plus, I’m sure there will be some House politics to handle.)
Other thoughts – “Sweep” is a thing in aircraft wing design and turbine blade design, and I think in hilts of certain types of swords (you would know better than I). Maybe combined sweeping with swords in the title?
Swept Edge? Swept Blade?
Sweep Stroke (in kayaking and canoeing, turns the vessel – e.g. Maud’s path turning in a new direction).
i like sweep stroke, i didn’t know the kayak meaning, but it matches, and it reminds of the blade too.
“Pointed Impressions”
Maud and Helen use a sword and knife respectively and are meeting the vampire in-laws.
