My
slightly-futuristic erotic series, the Tau Cetus Chronicles, has been very
successful.
The
first book, Programmed To Please… about a very human police agent named Jai
Turner who goes undercover as a Beautiful Doll sex robot to bring down the
planet’s most notorious weapons manufacturer… has been my best-selling book to
date.
The
second in the series, Programmed To Protect, features Jai’s police agent partner,
Leith Wyatt, who actually does fall in love with a Beautiful Doll sex robot. I’ve
gotten some wonderful feedback from readers who say the relationship between
these two characters is completely believable.
I’m
now working on the third book, called Programmed For Power. It centers on Tau
Cetus’ dark and dangerous premier, a man named Theus. He’s been a secondary –
but very important – character in the first two books, and now it’s time for
his story.
But
I need to give him a first name.
Authors
know that character names are very important to the story, and a strong
character needs a strong name. In the world I’ve created, the characters have
somewhat common last names, but unique-ish first names. Chavis Smith. Talis
Rainey. Titus Veraine. Celis Jaqan.
So
I need a distinct and powerful first name for the premier of Tau Cetus. I’ve
been playing with a few:
Olid
Theus
Kehde
Theus
Severin
Theus
Tryon
Theus
Riggin
Theus
Berrien
Theus
Wythe
Theus
What
do you think? I’d love to get some votes, or even some suggestions! This book will be released by the end of the
year and will be the final story of this series, so I’d like to leave readers with a
name they’ll remember long after they’ve closed the book.
I’d
love to hear your opinions!
Thanks,
Jenna

I really like Wythe and Severin. They are all good names and different.How about Zaid, Garen or Jharn ? Can you tell how early it is for my brain to function lol They'd probably sound better backwords .lol
Good luck with the names. The stories sound awesome and I 'll be putting them on my TRL.

I liked Severin or Berrien! Best wishes...
I like Severin. :)
I also like Severin. Riggin sounds to me like a verb. "I'll be in as soon as I'm done riggin' the teevee antenna."
LOL, anyone else old enough to remember tv antennas?
Hi Leigh,
This character, being the ruler and all, needs a commanding first name and I think all your suggestions fit the bill. I'm a little extra partial to Severin too. Also cracked open Wiki and looked at the list of Roman emperors, just for kicks: Augustus, Constantine, Domitian, Maxentius?
Severin is an excellent name. Reminds me of Snape...also, the French cake Savarin, which is delicious.
Wow, thanks everyone for your input! This is really, really helpful :)

Severin! Severin! That name leaped out at me immediately.
