"Peak of the Devil"- my peak oil book!

[Chip Haynes]

So... huge news here, perhaps: I've got a publisher interested in a book I wrote about  peak oil. The book is written as 100 questions answered, 50,000 words (and it is all done), but the title is still sort of up in the air. I'll let you all know more when I know more but for now, I have to ask: What would YOU call it?

Our Secret Future and How Much It's Gonna Suck:  Chip Haynes Answers 100 Questions On Peak Oil

[Chip Haynes]

Ah, see, that's the thing: I had a humongously long title for it, and I just knew that wasn't going to fly. The current working title is, "Your Guide to Peak Oil- 100 Questions Answered".

Tell you what: If anyone here submits the title that is used, they get a signed first edition.

I was thinking that way it connects the two books..... leaves room for *other writing down the track* and also sounds like a *handbook*

which is what i am thinking it will be.

Well, I gotta tell ya: My first working title for this puppy was, "Uncle Chippie's Guide to the End of the World As We Know It- 100 Questions About Peak Oil".

Obviously, THAT wasn't going to fly, so I shortened it to "Your Guide to Peak Oil, 100 questions answered". Yeah, that was shorter, but had no zip.

Right now, Maitreya's "Peak of the Devil" is WAAAAAY out in front in this race.

That's the one you'll have to beat.

Also the Practical Peak Oiler is good I think.

Oh, yeah- that has BEST SELLER written all over it!

It looks like "Peak of the Devil" is our winner, folks. I submitted it to the publisher this morning. Maitreya will get a signed first edition when it comes out, but fair warning: That probably won't be until some time in 2010.

Stay tuned!
