Oddly, I think mine mostly do. Maybe I haven't written enough books yet! The worst I had to put my name under was "A Wife For Winter Man", forced upon me by the publisher. Now I've got my rights back and it is an indie ebook it has my original and preferred title "Beneath The Shining Mountains". Much more wistful.<br /><br />This is a great post and I can't wait for the next one.Linda Acasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096791092366530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835072059437630166.post-34050491847569264872011-06-22T09:48:09.121-07:002011-06-22T09:48:09.121-07:00it's the making it short and pithy bit that is...it's the making it short and pithy bit that is so hard. My current working title is The Croaking Raven, a great title, but not for a suspense/romance! Trying to keep it to 3 words is virtually impossible. But my next blog deals with that, so I shall hope that some of you come back with likely titles. I've spent all afternoon trying to find THE one - the one that gives you a buzz and you know the minute you write it down that you have it nailed.

And, even when you think you've got it; you sometimes discover some other authors have used it, not just one, mind, but a whole bookshelf of the swine!stuartaken.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05695584662320617659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835072059437630166.post-46416138229557195202011-06-22T04:44:19.160-07:002011-06-22T04:44:19.160-07:00OMG!

Oh, the dreaded titles...Thank you for the mention!<br /><br />Oh, the dreaded titles. I sent the synopsis of the current wip to my ed with a title I wasn't sure about. And I offered another which was okay-ish. The book has to be delivered by the end of July and I've been struggling all this time to think of a title I actually like. On Sunday, as I was eating breakfast, one came to me. I think (hope) that I finally have a title. <br /><br />The worst I ever came up with was Where Petals Fall. I mean, it's a crime novel. Whatever was I thinking? I must have been on the wine. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.com
