Title Trouble
I'm deep into novel #4 - still untitled. It's unnamed because every title I come up with sounds ludicrous given the subject matter.
Lynnie leaves Nigeria where she and her husband James and their two tiny daughters, Josie and Anya have lived for four years. She loved life there, but after a tragedy, she returns alone. No longer a wife or mother, somehow she must become someone new.
The titles offered by Book Title generators are: The Twilight of the Motherhood (weird), Burning Missionary Wizards (downright creepy), Up in Smoke (kind of flippant, considering what happened to Lynnie's family), Out of the Flames (a little graphic, but apropos), Out of the Ashes, (not bad).
Now it's your turn. If you come up with a title I use, I'll send you a free copy of the book!

Eleanor: Whatever title you decide, for marketing purposes, try to find something that no one else has used before. I know this gets tricky but you want your book to show up on top when readers do a search. This may not happen if five or ten other books have the same title.

P.S. I just did a search of the title "Out of the Ashes" on Goodreads, and 324 books showed up.
And 47 results when I search for the title "Out of the Flames". Wow, tough to find an original title.

But I've now come up with "A Flame of Mercy" which isn't a common title, and which also offers elements of each character's story. I'm happy with it. (It popped into my mind while browsing through the hymnbook.) :D
