Mind you, I suspect you won't like the title I have in mind.<br /><br />Have a good weekend.Jonathan Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169533695637011148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839584506001378073.post-3730799843413852162012-06-09T19:07:19.898+10:002012-06-09T19:07:19.898+10:00I also had Stranger than Fiction first.

It was the right title for the book though even if it’s not perhaps the sexiest. I, of course, was one of those who thought—and still think—that <i>Doodling</i> is a bad title for your first book. It’s such a vague title that it won’t do it any harm because people will at least read the blurb and <i>that</i> will pull them in but as a title it just doesn’t work no matter how much of a soft spot you have for it. That another book would come along so soon with the title <i>Magnus Opum</i> is, frankly, amazing though. Maybe she’ll get a few sales from dog lovers looking for your book. Good luck to her. If you ever finish the sequel to <i>Doodling</i> please don’t call it <i>Doodling 2</i> or <i>Son of Doodling</i> or anything like that.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
