How did I decide on the subtitles for the three parts of the epic fantasy trilogy 'Windows on Our World'?
These were not decided upon until I had written several chapters of the first book. The idea came after I introduced the character Jippers. Jippers is the only character apart from the hero, Squire, who comes from our world. I wanted a character who was seeking something, much like Gollum is seeking his 'precious'. Jippers is continually looking for his 'Hope', which is a hope that he can find a way back to his own world. Read 'Windows on Our World, Part 1, Hope' to see whether or not Jippers achieves his hope. http://www.lesbillgates.com/hope.html
So, I settled on 'Hope' as the subtitle for the first book - and for a trilogy, what could be more obvious than to call the other two books 'Faith' and 'Love'?
It would be giving too much away at the moment to explain how 'Faith' plays a part in the second book.
