I also appreciate her addressing all the "doom and gloom" comments the title seems to be getting from everyone. I didn't find it ominous or a sign of bad things to come at all. I'm really excited to see her explanation of where the title came from. Now that Book 8 has a name, it's like it's real! Now we wait! :)<br /><br />LaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-77246924806378087472011-09-06T09:45:13.435-04:002011-09-06T09:45:13.435-04:00Lara, I now that Diana put some clarification on h...Lara, I now that Diana put some clarification on her blog, I see that it really isn't first person; the "my" is part of the expression "my heart's blood", which is an English translation of a Gaelic term of endearment. Also, she clarified that it doesn't imply it is the end of the series. It sounded to me at first that the title (if was first-person) was a wrap up. Now, I'm guessing that the title refers to something "written" (obvious meaning) "with" (or together with) "my" (someone's) "own" (biological) "heart's blood" (child or grandchild). Check out Diana's blog, and see what you thing.Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821442965070515922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-14016405212345670502011-09-05T23:43:23.729-04:002011-09-05T23:43:23.729-04:00Karen,

I find it very interesting the title is first person. I don't want to believe this is the final book though. Diana has mentioned before that a triple trilogy sounds good. Here's to hoping we get a book 9!<br /><br />LaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-9728307641165443112011-09-05T14:18:43.058-04:002011-09-05T14:18:43.058-04:00Shannon - we don't know that this is the last ...Shannon - we don't know that this is the last book!

I think it could be a wee bit shorter, more like 'With My Heart's Own Blood' - leaving off the 'Written With'. That said, it's a perfect title for the grand finale. *sniff*Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552997043813495167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-37949387580644494802011-09-05T13:56:12.779-04:002011-09-05T13:56:12.779-04:00That's very different, in that it's the on...That's very different, in that it's the only title in the first-person narrative.
