Cynthia Shannon asked J.G. Faherty:

How do you come up with the titles for your books? What goes into coming up with the right title?

J.G. Faherty It's hard to say. Sometimes the title comes to me first, and that triggers the story idea - for instance, that's how I came up with many of my short stories and a couple of my novellas, such as Cult of the Black Jaguar. Other times, the idea of the story sparks the title - that's how it happened with The Cure and Carnival of Fear. Rarely do I have trouble deciding on a title - the real problem is when you get two or three variations on a title and have to decide on the final one.

After so many novellas with Samhain, how did it feel diving into a novel (The Cure)? Was it always meant to be a novel or did it just keep growing?
