The Spear Thrower would've been a nice name as well. Even though, I definitely like Strong Heart better.Charlie Sheldon wrote:As regards the title, for a long time the title was "The Spear Thrower" because the atlatl was the piece that untied everything, but after a discussion with my publisher Ethan I agreed with him the title should be Strong Heart - in fact when he suggested it I instantly knew he was right. Then I wanted to call the series the Spear Thrower Series but again changed it to the Strong Heart series, because not everyone knows what a spear thrower is, and the name can be misunderstood or confuse people. Strong Heart is better. It seems you readers agree.

Thank you a lot for sharing this!
The spear thrower sounds great but as you said, it could be misunderstood. If you wish to educate people what a spear thrower is, you could make the characters have a conversation about it until it becomes established "slang" for your series or have other people refer to the spear throwers by that name etc.
