I'm still mulling over my revision letter from the editor. I don't know what to think about my book coming out later than sooner. My last book came out January of this year, so it would be fifteen or sixteen months from January before you see another Gennita Low book. Of course, it's almost the middle of 2006 now, so we all know time just flies by.
The file you downloaded yesterday shows that my working title is Virtual Hell. It won't be the final title because marketing doesn't like it (Hell, you know...could be a horror book, etc.) As some of you know, I have the toughest time getting my titles approved by the PTB. My last book, The Sleeper, became Sleeping With ***coughcough***. Virtual Hell, by the way, can end up as Virtual Helen. I'm still mulling over whether any reader would be attracted to that title. Let's say you're wandering around the Walmart book aisle. Would you pick up a book with that title out of curiosity?
I don't know. Virtual Helen??? For those who read the HellGem yesterday, does this title convey the story you've downloaded? Virtual Helen doesn't sound very sexy or dangerous, does it?
I'm aiming for a combination of:

Yeah,Virtual Hell does kind of sound like a video game, but I guess that is what Hell is doing in a sense. I like the other title you had up better, A View to Kill.
I second the "View to a Kill"
that is a good one or how about Virtual Gem? i don't know hmmm... deep pondering now
Isn't "view to a kill" a movie? I'd say exnay on the "virtual Helen." I like "virtual hell" a lot, though.
I have to say I'm gonna buy your book just because this post made me laugh madly. :)

Kate, Anonymous One, anonymous two, and Reese,
Thanks for weighing in about the title. I'm trying my best to push for a new title. Sigh.
Anonymous Three,
Heh. Glad you enjoy my silly frazzled sense of humor. It's about all I can do when it comes to titling my books.
