Rhett and Scarlett - can't imagine those two characters named anything else. <br /><br />As hard as it can be to come up with book titles, I think I'd rather do that than have someone else foist a name on it, especially if I didn't like that name.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812763750431392902.post-8659189174063528252018-06-07T05:30:40.629-04:002018-06-07T05:30:40.629-04:00I only change in progress when I forget what I cal...I only change in progress when I forget what I called a secondary . . . and sometimes I like the new name better.

LOL With my Alex O'Hara mystery series, I started out with "The Case of ..." then something alliterative (Bygone Brother, Fabulous Fiance, Meddling Mama). Now I'm stuck for the 4th book. Oh, well.
