"The World of the Five Gods" seems a bit of a mouthful, hasn't anyone suggested Pentheon (penta+theon, and also a play on pantheon) instead? Sorry if this has been suggested, but if Goodreads has a way of searching "ask the author" posts, I haven't managed to find it.

Heh. I agree with you as to the unwieldiness of the series name. (Some fans abbreviate it "5GU" for "five gods universe" in casual posts, but I felt that was not identifier enough for the uninitiated; also I have not yet committed to my theological world-building extending beyond one planet.) "Pentheon" is amusing and succinct, but might make for some confusion with respect to one of my protagonist's names.
Not that there aren't people named things like "Theophilus" or "Theodosia" in real life...
Ta, L.
(It's also now engraved on my Hugo for Best Series, so rather indelible.)

I've been seeing comments by other authors about fake, AI-written books being published on Amazon with their name attached. Is this something that you've seen or experienced? Have you given thought to trademarking your name to give you additional ammo against the e-book sites if someone does start trying to publish fake books under your name?
