Winner winner chicken dinner! My children and husband all chimed in and picked their two favorites. The first was no surprise:
I know the marvelous manipulator of the Batman image and she has been justly rewarded. I wanted to honor a second winner so I gave my family three votes on another one. They all chose different pictures (so many great ones!), overlapping on one:
Awesome! Marvelous-photo-taker, please email me your address and who you'd like the books personalized to at squeetus (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks, guys, for caring about this! I love that so many of you care too. Hopefully by spreading awareness we'll give our boys a chance to grow up reading lots of great stories and embracing female characters as well as male.
To continue the ongoing posts featuring bits from the Palace of Stone area on my website, I list dozens of titles we tried on for size. Here are a few that I thought would be the final title at one time:
Lady Miri
The Queen's Castle
Lady of the Princess
The Robber Princess
Crown Breaker
Miri of Mount Eskel
Cool pictures!

Great pictures! To whoever made the Batman image -- thanks for making me smile. It looks awesome.

Looked at your full list of potential titles, and now I'm curious: Why didn't you go with Revenge of the Mountain Goats?

Justly deserved winners.

I like Robber Princess... but it's terribly misleading. I think we're all content with Palace of Stone

Ooo I like Crown Breaker...but not as much as Palace of Stone. Congrats to the winners, they are amazing! Whoever made the Batman one is very clever!
