I suck at titles. It took me ages to get to a working title for my first book--which I'm not going to mention because it's awful. And which will not, as you may know, be the actual title of the book. The working title came directly from a line of dialogue that Brogan says to Embry, and I thought that it was fairly generic, as titles go, but far better than anything I’d come up with so far, so…done.

But the problem is that my editor and the marketing team were concerned that it sounded more romance-novel than romantic-suspense novel, and I was the first to agree with them. That does not mean that finding an email asking for five new titles was a welcome sight, because all I could think was but I couldn't even come up with ONE.

Because of my day job, it's hard for me to get an uninterrupted stretch of time to write during the week. I work from 8:30 to 5, and by the time I've gotten home and cooked and eaten and caught up with the husband a bit, it's nearly 7 and, to be honest, by that time of night, I don't have the critical thinking skills left to write a grocery list, let alone work on a novel.
