Scottish romance novelist, Janice Horton, wrote a post on her blog entitled “A Working Title…?” For those of us who have a hard time coming up with a title, whether before or after we’ve created our “baby”, this is an excellent post. Janice has hit the nail on the head with the conundrum of choosing a title and included some good links, too.

I just finished reading Dying Light by Stuart MacBride. Like his first published crime novel, Gold Granite, this was the second gripping tale of DS Logan McRae set in Aberdeen.
I was so taken with his first (what can I say, Aberdeen and crime?, I’m there… wouldn’t even have to be crime… mostly Aberdeen does it for me) that I have all but his most recent one. According to Stuart’s website the books are written so they can be read in any order. However, unlike the way I write, I like to read in published order. So if I stick to that, then the next piece of his I’ll be reading will be Broken Skin.
