Titles of books change all the time. It’s a fact. Period.

As an writer, I’m well aware that when a story is “adopted” by a publisher, they might want to change the name of their new child. Of course, their intent is to give each book the best life it can have. I was very lucky

I'm like you are. I need to have the title before I start writing or at least shortly afterwards. It's not exactly that the title is set in stone as much as it is part of the foundation to me.

Honestly, I don't think I have an favorite titles. But I love it when I finish reading and can see how the title fits on more than one level. I also tend to notice when a title has nothing to do with the story.

Congrats on nearing the end of draft one! YAY.

Ohhhh I love that too!!! Especially if you don't quite know the connection with the title until you've read the book!!!!
