Here’s a little challenge.
The sequel to “Knight Life” is tentatively titled “Dead of Knight.” It takes place some years after “Knight Life,” focusing on the presidency of King Arthur, how the threat of terrorists impacts upon it, and–just to keep it real–a search for the Holy Grail and a head-to-head conflict with an individual even more ancient than Arthur.
Now…my noble editor, Ginjer Buchanan, isn’t blown away by the title. She says it sounds like a vampire novel. So…any suggestions? Ideally with the word “Knight” in it?

Just my two cents… since it’s about the presidency, here’s some ideas on how it could play on that in the
“One Knight in Washington” (…may be inaccurate if we still have two Knights in the story.)
“Washington Knights” (…sounds too much like a basketball team.)
“Arthur Goes to the White House?” No? How about “Arthur Goes to the Knight House?”

“A Knight of the People, or The Once and Future President.”
(Let ’em get a vampire reference outta THAT one.)
“Election Knight.”
“Terror by Knight.”
“The Knight House.”
“A Knight in America.”
“Knight Life II: This Time, It’s Personal.”
Y’know, if you look at that word long enough, it really DOES start to look like it’s pronounced, “Ka-nigget”… Anyway…
That’s my best shot. At the moment.
Apologies. This was the first time I replied to anything here. I kept getting an error message which said my post wasn’t being accepted.
Obviously, that was not the case.
Once again, sorry about the bandwidth.
Someone’s already said something similar, but:
Heat of the Knight
And if you’re desperate:
Knight Roglycerine
Oddly enough, I thought last night it’d be funny if you wrote a short story called “Knight at the Roxbury.”
“Knight Rider,” “Knight Light,” and “One Knight Stand” are the only pun I could think of not already listed below.
“The Knight that would be President”–not a pun, but still has the word “knight” in there.
“Dead of Knight” seems to be eminently appropriate considering the opposite of death–life–was in the first title.
Otherwise, if “knight” need not be in the title, “Resident Medieval” (a la the video game), “Medieval on Your Úš,” or “Low, High, and Medieval.”
Since Arthur is a king, maybe “The Knight it Reigned” or “Pain and Sovereign.”

P.S. Error message or not, I’m clicking “Post This Comment” once.
“Knight Vision,” “Hard Knight’s Reign,” and “Access De-Knight” just came to me.
If Arthur’s nemesis is from the time of Jesus (and even if not, the Holy Grail certainly is), “Apostolic Now” works well as a pun and as an accurate story title.

Lots of good suggestions already, and more than a few gleefully bad puns as well. How about…
A Knight in the Lincoln Bedroom
A Knight in the Oval Office
Both a bit long for a novel title, I know, but I hope they bear considering. Also, I know you’d prefer “Knight” in the title as a matter of series continuity, but as an alternative or perhaps a subtitle, how about something like:
Avalon on the Potomac
Camelot on the Potomac
On a side note… Like a lot of folks lately, I’m a long time reader but first time poster, and I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge my tremendous respect for PAD. Carry on, Peter.
How about “Questing Knight”? or “Executive Knight”? Also, I don’t know what time period the book covers but if it is around 2 weeks then maybe “FortKnight”?
Btw, is there a tentative release date for the book already?
PAD, thanks for all the wonderful stories!!!
