I've been waiting impatiently for my editor at Harcourt to give me the go-ahead to announce the official new title of the book formerly known as BROKEN WINGS. The time has come, and my new title is....
FLYAWAY
I like it. I like the way it reflects the bird-rescue subplot in my book and the way it evokes escape. I like that it's a little quirky and unusual just like Stevie, my main character. I even like the angularity of the letters and the fact that it's one word. I'm hoping the cover designers will do something cool with it!
Thanks to everyone who gave me title suggestions. I loved many of them, but in the end, the decision was made by my editor and the marketing department.
Guess what song's been playing in my head all day?
