What's in a Name? Book Titles and Why Writers Pick Them

I’m writing a new series for readers of age 9+ at the moment. It’s about a group of girls – Mollie, Sunny, Min, Rory and Alanna – who live on a small island off the coast of West Cork. I came up with a title for the series – The Wishing Girls. ‘Too young’ my publishers said. ‘Sounds like a Rainbow Fairy book’. So I had to start again.

I produced a list of over twenty different titles. My editor add Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Sarah Webb  (?)

“Sometimes we have to fight for other people, as well as ourselves - don't we? People we love, I mean. Otherwise why bother living? What's the point if we don't care enough for those we love to fight for them?”
Sarah Webb, The Memory Box

“The thing is, when it came to men, I wasn't unrealistic. I knew they all had their faults; I just wanted someone kind, someone I could trust”
Sarah Webb, Anything for Love
tags: love

“How do you know if you're really in love? Proper love, I mean, not just romantic fairy-tale love.
Love is when the thought of living without a person makes you physically sick.”
Sarah Webb, The Memory Box

“Women are now so highly cultivated, and political subjects are at present of so much importance, of such high interest, to all human creatures who live together in society, you can hardly expect, Helen, that you, as a rational being, can go through the world as it is now, without forming any opinion on points of public importance. You cannot, I conceive, satisfy yourself with the common namby-pamby little missy phrase, “ladies have nothing to do with politics.”
Maria Edgeworth, Helen
