So I just got word that my title suggestion for TDD2 has finally been approved by all the important peeps at Egmont USA. Which means TDD2 OFFICIALLY HAS A TITLE!!!!!Now I asked my tweeps if I should just come right out and say it, or if I should have a fabulous contest in order to announce the title. The reaction was mixed. Some wanted me to blurt it out, others wanted cool prizes. . .
And since I have this weird addiction where I can't help but to give things away to my awesome readers, I couldn't stop myself from having a contest.
(Sorry to the folks who wanted me to just blurt it out. I swear, I can't help myself!)
So here's the deal:
1. I'm going to give you a couple of clues as to what the official title is. These clues are:
A. The initials for the official title are T. L. S.
B. One of the words in the title is from the last name of an obscure character in THE DARK DIVINE. (But don't let that throw you off too much. Focus mostly on the initials.)
2. Now try to guess the title, and then leave your guess in the comments.
3. I will award two prizes. The 1st prize goes to the person who guesses the title (or comes the closest to it). The 2nd prize goes to the person who can come up with the funniest/absurd title guess using the initials T.L.S. Whoever makes me laugh the hardest wins that prize.
4. In the event that more than one person guesses the correct title, I will have a random drawing to select the winner.
5. I'll accept entries into the contest until Noon on Sunday, March 7th. The winners of the contest (and the REAL TITLE for TDD2) will be announced later that day.
6. Tweeting/Facebooking about the contest is always greatly appreciated. :)
Prizes include your choice of one of the following:
1. Signed copy of PRINCESS FOR HIRE by Lindsey Leavitt (that I will get at her March 20th signing at TKE.)
2. Signed copy of THE MAZE RUNNER by James Dashner
3. Your choice of any of The Tenners books that have debuted so far this year or a pre-order of a one that hasn't come out yet. (Including but not limited to: HUSH HUSH, HEX HALL, THE DARK DAYS OF HAMBURGER HALPEN, THE IRON KING, THE LINE, THE SECRET YEAR, FORGET HER NOTS, SCONES & SENSIBILITY, THE CINDERELLA SOCIETY.) For a complete list click HERE. (You can also choose a singed copy off TDD if you want.)
4. Your choice of any TDD T-shirt in my website store & a bottle of TDD nail polish
5. A bottle of Little Stinker Baby Butt Spray
Is that clear? Anyone have a guess as to what T.L.S. stands for? Or do you want to just make something up that's totally off the wall?
Then start guessing . . . now!

I feel really dumb now. I was in a hurry when I saw your tweet about your contest. I didn't even read your blog post, so I came up with the titles I did without knowing the correct initials were TLS. Now, that I've had time to read your blog post, oops. Kay, here are my *real* guesses:
The Lifted Sorrow
The Light Sorrow
The Lovers' Sorrow
The Little Saint
The Lamenter's Sorrow
The Lighted Sepulcher
The Lamented Saint
The Lupine Sorrow
The Lupine Saint
The Lupine Season
The Lupine Sound
The Limitless Sorrow
PS - I know I'm not even close since I didn't choose anything with the last name of one of your obscure characters. It was hard enough coming up with something that made sense with TLS.
I really like The Last/Lost Saint that a lot of people have come up with, but I didn't want to use that too. Can't wait until you tell us the real name. (I'm done bugging you now.)
...
Twin Lake Swimmers
Tortured Lady Stenographer
Trapped Liquid Stains
Total Lousy Speculation
Too Late Speculation
Ack. The name is completely obscure! You're right on it throwing people. Oh, tragic, cruel fate. But it is a good contest, keep's people talking :)
Mmmm...
• The
Lone/
Lost/
Last
Sacrifice
• Time Lasted Slowly
• Tainted Longing Soul
• The Last Saint
That's about it. Sorry if it's not even remotely close :(

naggy8(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm thinking something like "the lost soul" or 'the last soul". Maybe "the lovely sacrifice". For some reason "the last salmon" keeps popping into my head. But maybe that's just me hungry for tuna...Ooh, haw about "the lonely soul"? Less likely are "the lovely soul" or "The lovely sanity". Even less are "the lonely symphony" or " the lost sock". I think the last one is just my subconsciousness speaking to me. I guess i'll have to wait 'till you blurt it out))
I'm excited to have found your blog!! Having only been in the blogging world for less than 2 months I love meeting other writers!
The Lost saint.
But how does this relate with the last name??
