Miracleman ftw
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You can be whapped by proxy, you know.

Because books.

I like Aimee's title! It might be a little bit high-brow for the market, but ...

I was trying to think of something short and sharp, like ... Chill. Or something. But I came up empty.
Hmmm. I hate titles. I can title other people's books, no problem. My own, not so much.

I love it when the title of the book isn't explained in the text and I have to do outside research to find out how it relates to the overall message.

There's a revenant ballad named "The Unquiet Grave."

I was trying to find something appropriate to the proto-Eurydice myth, Inanna's descent into the Underworld, but her reasoning for the descent is murky. She claims she's there to witness a funeral rite, but that appears to not so much be the case and she may have been there to conquer the realm of the dead.

Unquiet Grave isn't bad, Ginger.
MM, dude. Pulls out the research!

It was research I did for something else a few years ago. Just had to go back and verify why she went and it was....ambiguous.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I like Unquiet Grave, and the book itself sounds fascinating.
I suck at titles. I feel like all of mine are boring, with the possible exception of my WIP and its planned sequel...and I'm still paranoid enough about giving out my alternative history hook before I've finished the book that I don't like talking about them in a searchable forum. They're too spoilery.
I have non-spoilery working titles for my extremely sketchy ideas for Books 3 and 4 of the series--The Strangest of Bedfellows and Glory's Nemesis--but I hope I can think of something better and less cheesy between now and writing the books.
