I went looking within the worlds of Fantasy and Science Fiction for a name, and finally settled on Until Midnight as a homage to one of my favorite writers, Jack L. Chalker, gone too soon and missed very much. For those unfamiliar with Jack's works (there are many to enjoy and I recommend them highly!), my first encounter with his writing was The Saga of the Well World. All though the books, various cultures (and the Well World has a *lot* of cultures) include legends that end the same way: "Until Midnight at the Well of Souls." I first read the series while I was in college, and later proofread them when Baen reissued the five books in the original series. I love them every time I read them. I own all of his books, many of them signed, and I've enjoyed every one of them. So, Until Midnight is a small way to remember Jack L. Chalker. The Until Midnight logo was created by noted artist and illustrator Hannah M.G. Shapero.
