Firebrand: It's actually a pretty good title. Sounds a little fantasy-ish and action/adventure. I enjoy it, I would definitely pick it up.

It makes me think of someone going into something dangerous, but for a good cause or with excitement. So I think of an action story. I'm not sure. And maybe it's fantasy, too.

An introspective Holocaust short from the point of view of a German middle-class civilian. Very philosophical and stirring, with a lot of symbolism and universal values.

Sounds like a thriller in where a young woman has to find her kidnapped son. It sounds interesting, high-paced...pretty good!

A witty, sardonic satire of a dysfunctional family. If the blurb was good, I'd probably pick it up.

Well the first word sounds forgen, but the second makes it sound like a person dealing with events. I might buy it, if the blurb was good.

It makes me think of the phrase "tie up the loose ends" which is probably your intention. I think it would be about the story of people picking up after some tragedy, maybe the death of an important family figurehead, or a natural disaster, or something else all together, but it shows the story after the event, and how everything is being fixed afterward.

Something to the effect of political prisoners or the perceived "enemy" in prison... knowing you, Suz, probably Holocaust-related.  I'd pick it up just to learn more.

*glee* I really adore that title--it's probably something lighthearted and mockingly woeful. I'd definitely pick it up.

Hmmmmmm. That sounds like back in the day when the settlers were rounding up the Indians in the west. It would be a story through the eyes of the Indian being "relocated," or whatever the settlers called it. I'd pick it up if the blurb was good.

Nice, but it seems a little cliché. Like...a vampire story of some sort, regardless of whether it is or not. I probably wouldn't check out the blurb.

Vampires. Really, that's all I see. Vampires kill at night. Maybe they are waiting for a "prime time" like a full moon for some reason?

A one-worder? For some reason, I'm already thinking of a horror piece, in which case "The Park" would be better, I think. Or maybe a guy named Park? I'm not sure. I'd read the blurb, just to understand what it's about. With me, it always comes down to the blurb.

Hmmm, definitely sounds like a horror or maybe a supernatural story. I agree with what you said about the blurb, so if your was good I'd read it.

I'm gonna take a stab that the story has something to do with a Pendant. Anyway, sounds like a mid-evil fantasy story about a magical pendant and a long and dangerous journey. If the mood suits me, I'd check it out. But the blurb would be the hit or miss.
