How hard is it to name a book?
Sometimes the title comes at the start of the project and sometimes it is the very last thing to show itself.
Now Problems with Girls, DI Sloane book 2, has arrived I am starting to write book 4, and thinking about titles again.
Book 3 (coming autumn 2021) had a title that was all wrong, so this week I spent some time trying on new ones. In the end I found the perfect name in my ‘snippets’ Word document where I store random words, phrases and story ideas.
In the meantime I consulted a few book title generators. That was fun!
It inspired me to make up my own.
Hope you enjoy it.
