Gretchen Anthony:
Why was Evergreen Tidings retitled? It caught the essence of the story perfectly.

Hi Eve,
Thanks for reaching out! And thanks for reading.
To answer your question, Evergreen Tidings wasn't so much retitled as released with an additional title and cover. Confusing, right?
Here's how it works when this happens (I'm learning along with you): Evergreen Tidings will remain available in print with the same title. The ebook, however, has been re-released under the title, Behaving Like Adults. Search engines will point readers to both, regardless of the title they search under.
So now, here's why the publisher did it: While my publisher and I both love the Evergreen Tidings title, it makes the book sound like more of a Christmas story than it really is, and if you're looking for something to read in June, for example... Ideally, the new title and cover will attract a new audience who may not have otherwise picked it up.
Clear as mud? :-)
