I’ve sometimes wondered if anyone knows what kind of agonies some authors go through to choose a title for their stories. Some of mine have come easily, but over the years, I’ve gone through more torture coming up with an engaging title than you might think.
Take this one: Dinosaurs and Cherry Stems: I wrote this one in collaboration with my late husband, and the reason we chose this title was that we were over fifty when we met (Dinosaurs), it was about internet dating and courtship, and Joe had a special knack with the cherry stems you find in cocktails.(*Wink*) If you’d like to read the story, it’s Book One of a Six Story Series called Cindy’s Crusades and you can find it here https://www.amazon.com/Dinosaurs-Cherry-Stems-Cindys-Crusades-ebook/dp/B009BDJ5X
