L.B. Graham — author of the series "The Binding Of The Blade"

Awesome!!

TDR...

What is the genre of the novel?

Awesome! Thanks! I almost jumped out of my chair with excitement when I saw the title of this post. Now to start guessing...

This is the book title, not the series, correct?

Wow! What a spoiler!

Can we guess what the other two letters stand for? =D Of course, you don't have to tell us if we got it right... but just for the fun of it.

The 'T' stands for 'The'? Well, I was close...

By all means, guess away. I will, of course, neither confirm nor deny anything...

And yes, TDR is the working title for the book, not the series.

The.... Doom Reaver?

The guessing begins!

The Deepening Rift?
The Dark Raptor?
The Deaf Rambo?
The Dumb Rabbits?
The Doomed Runners?
The Danged Rum?
The Dung Room?
The Dancing Rainbow?
The Dingleberry Road?
The Dirty Rail?
The Deafening Raspberries?
The Dandy Roof?
The Dale (of) Ralph?
The Ding Ring?
The Doodling Redwood?
The Done Run?
The Domed Route?

Just kidding.

Congrats on the big finish! I'll certainly send some prayers heavenward!

The Dowsing Rabbi? The Deadly Ricochet? The Detrimental Raccoon?

Ooh.... The Dumb Rabbits has my vote.

The Diet Rootbeer?
The Dingo Ranch?

Hmmmm.

Then again, I shouldn't be guessing!

Yes, Rob, you might be a little too close to the situation to be hazarding guesses on here...

Okay, awesome. Let's see. If there are a total of one million words in the english language, and D will take up about three percent of that, R four to six. Okay, just 110-140 thousand words! And many of those are verbs, too! But then, "The" could refer to an action, (The Dying Reepicheep). And, too, like I just brought up, one or both of the terms could be specialized words.

Okay, I give up. At least we got The DR or tDR

this is like the first time ive been on ur site in a while ( like since i fineshed all mty holey mountain) Dude im realy pumped about this new book it sounds sooooooooo cool. let us all know when u get it published like im realy phsyeced. is this like the mistery one u where talking about a loooong time ago? TDR....... The Dead Return... hope it gets published. then y'all let us know the name k man????

Okay, one question Mr. Graham. Last series (BotB), you finished the first book and just went ahead with the next one. Are you going to do that too, with The DR? (And what's the series title acronym?)

Sam Burke

Sam,

When I finished BtS, I went right on to BoS because the whole series was under contract and I was on a pretty strict schedule. Since this series - acronym not yet released to the public:) - is not under contract, I probably won't go right on to the next book just yet...

Hello Mr. Graham. Enjoyed the BotB series. My guess for the acronym is: The Dragons Return.

Thank you for writing Christian work that we know will not have any bad language or such in it.

My work in progress is a "TDR" too. How ironic...

okay Mr. Grham... all I can say is that your book's r amazing and im real xcited about this new one, so lets hope its like a series or somthing cause than ill b realy xcited cause i'll b waiting 4 all the rest of them. but anyway. Thanx 4 all the great reading!

Thanks Squirrel - I'm glad you liked BOTB.

The dangers of having too much time on your hands . . . The Deadly Race The Day (of) Reckoning The Dark Road The Dizzy Ringwraith The Dragon Rampant The Deer Returns The Desperate Reef The Delightful Receptionist The Dastardly Reporter The Dread Roberts The Dead Rising The Disreputable Rewrite The Distracted Reaper The Denial Rapid The Deep River The Dashing Rasputin The Delusional Rat The Desperate Reader The Director's Revenge The Direct Retort The Decrepit Raft The Daft Representation The Dire Report The Deliberate Repetition The Disastrous Reel The Destructive Rampart The Deranged Relative The Dough Rises The Different Route The Definitive Relapse The Diffusion Room The Determined Robber The Derived Response The Disorderly Rapture The Disturbing Rule The Diseased Rabbit The Daschund Relaxes The Diuretic Rations The Divine Retribution The Dyslexic Reprieve The Deteriorating Roar The Deceased Rulalin (!) Or it could always be something like Tom's Daily Run. My brother and I are betting on it involving Dark, Dead, Day, Dragon, or variations, and River, Road, Rises, Returns, Release, or variations. But of course there are always all the options listed above . . .

Oooh, some good stuff in there - maybe even, something pretty close...

The Dawning Rage?

Wow!! I'm so excited now!!!! Really can't wait! Do you think the first draft will be done in less that a year? Or do you have no idea?

The first draft of TDR is finished. What I'm doing now, is trying to develop a different story while simultaneously revising TDR. The issue will be what to try to sell first, and what will be required to do that...
