Temptation's Wing

So there you have it: the alternate title for the book that I've been kicking around in my noggin. That title comes from a song by the band Down, who you may not have heard of, but it's kind of a Pantera side project, the same kind of way that Probot is a Foo Fighters side project, meaning sort of but not quite. I haven't fully committed to that title yet, because I don't know if there's some copyright snaggle that comes with using a title of somebody else's song ... even though I know numerous other authors have done the same. If I had my way, however, that would be the title of the book. I guess I need to research some of the ins and outs.

Why this comes up today as a post is because the scene I'm working on takes us there. After the altercation with the cop, Alyssa softens up somewhat in keeping everything from Kelly, so she invites him there. The setting is something I really get to sink my teeth into, as I get to create the whole little world within a world of Temptation's Wing and fill it full of interesting people. At least three of the characters introduced here will show up again later on. One of them is based on Tanja, and the chapter goes a long way in explaining why I don't talk about her much in this here blog.

In the grand scheme, this is a really crucial scene. I don't give away the whole enchilada or answer all of Kelly's questions, but there's definitely enough meat on the bone to satisfy most hungry readers, and again there's a lot of stuff that I throw out there right in plain sight that'll take on a different shade once you know more about everything. That's all part of the fun.

Anybody know anything about copyrights?
