I'm stupid late but wanted to say I ...Hi Chrys. I'm stupid late but wanted to say I love the title you chose for Seismic Crimes! For my first WRP book I titled it HOME during the writing process because I have to have a title to write. Later I attempted to come up with a more appropriate title and nothing, literally nothing, would come to mind. Nothing. That novella remained "Home" through publication.<br /><br />It's about a football hero who came home from the Vietnam War to find he didn't fit in any more because he lived when so many others had died. My heroine grew up in the same town, but was never accepted because she was a gypsy outcast. All she'd ever wanted was the hero, but he didn't know she existed, until he came home and found himself in the same position as her in their town. It's a story of where they fit, whether real or emotional. A place to belong, whether tangible or in a heart. It's a story of finding a HOME. <br />Of course, that story is no longer available for purchase since the contract expired several years ago, but I'd like to re-birth Home one day.<br /><br />Congrats and best of luck!Calisa Rhosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743891437445099016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831433709810155834.post-39218988271212717162016-06-19T16:09:10.381-04:002016-06-19T16:09:10.381-04:00Hi Chrys, I definitely think you chose a great ti...Hi Chrys, I definitely think you chose a great title - I am interesting in reading it just based on the title.<br /><br />AND, I have to admit I really love Fault Line Crimes...that just has a ring of someone falling into a huge earth crack which I can't help but enjoy thinking about. Good luck with all.DeeDee Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898000917356151789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831433709810155834.post-45120306796468358652016-06-17T12:23:08.501-04:002016-06-17T12:23:08.501-04:00That's great advice, Charlotte!

My debut, The Marriage Ultimatum is not unique. Hoping that my writing and gorgeous cover will set it apart.
