I like that a lot!
Touching Indigo is also lovely, but softer--this does have more commercial va-va-voom.

Ultraviolet. Ultraviolet. Ultraviolet.

Yes, I can see it actually! I think "Touching Indigo" might be more meaningful if you've read it, but Ultraviolet is more likely to be picked up by people who aren't counting the days till it's out, so all good. Can't wait to see the cover!

I reaaally liked Touching Indigo as a title (it has such a nice sound to it!), but if Ultraviolet will grant you better sales and suits the book as well, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm so excited for your new book! ME WANTS COVER.

Why do they keep doing this to me? I'm always going to refer to your first three published books as Knife, Wayfarer, and Touching Indigo, no matter what those silly publishers say. I like your original titles. :P
