Lois,

I'm impressed that you have such control over the
title of your books. From what little I know of the
publishing industry, I heard that often the editor
gets to pick the title. It's neat to think that you
could make such a change, perhaps even inspired by one
of your fans. (we'll try not to let the power go to
our heads) . The right title could certainly have an
effect on marketing and book sales. Have you always
had such leeway over your book titles, or is it
something you'd gain more control over recently? Are
there any early titles that you are less than happy
with?

-Asa
