MM, dude. Pulls out the research!
It was research I did for something else a few years ago. Just had to go back and verify why she went and it was....ambiguous.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I like Unquiet Grave, and the book itself sounds fascinating.
I suck at titles. I feel like all of mine are boring, with the possible exception of my WIP and its planned sequel...and I'm still paranoid enough about giving out my alternative history hook before I've finished the book that I don't like talking about them in a searchable forum. They're too spoilery.
I have non-spoilery working titles for my extremely sketchy ideas for Books 3 and 4 of the series--The Strangest of Bedfellows and Glory's Nemesis--but I hope I can think of something better and less cheesy between now and writing the books.

Because books.
Anyone want to vote on these?

I like Hungry as the Grave. It has a nice rhythm.

That's one vote!

I dunno, my mind went immediately to Hungry Like the Wolf and big hair bands.

Because books.
So which one do you like? It's okay if it's none of them.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The story would be a different twist on Poe's "Premature Burial."
I like "Hungry as the Grave," particularly since I found this:
Cruel as Death, and hungry as the Grave!
Burning for blood! bony, and gaunt, and grim!
Assembling wolves in raging troops descend;
And, pouring o'er the country, bear along,
Keen as the north wind sweeps the glossy snows.
All is their prize.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
There is another ballad similar to the "Unquiet Grave" .
A wife mourns her dead husband excessively, the dead husband comes back to comfort her. The results are not good.
Umm, obviously I don't remember the name.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Ooof. I have huge writer's block, made worse by trying to sort out chapter subjects that all seem to flow together.
