Well, she got it accepted for publication and it's coming out next year, but they changed the title -- and while the new title is fine, I liked the first one best! :)<BR/><BR/>Here's an interesting title for ya: <I>The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.</I> Haven't read the book, though it's on my TBR list.<BR/><BR/>That's how it goes sometimes, though.Thomma Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490964079393282131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812297326740243052.post-29873478385363651642008-09-08T14:15:00.000-07:002008-09-08T14:15:00.000-07:00Wylie - Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance - not exact...Wylie - Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance - not exactly concepts one would expect to see close to each other. Then again, bikers can be misunderstood. I used to work for the Red Cross, and we had a humongous, bearded, tatooed, leathered guy come in regularly to donate, as a way of giving back to the community.<BR/><BR/>Amy - I'll be intrigued to hear of your original titles compared to the 'bestowed' ones.<BR/><BR/>Abby - Why do only Greek postmen get books describing their numbers?
