Fake I.D.
Ever used fake I.D.? Since I first named my print YA novel 'Fake ID' I've met a few who have used fake ID and not the ones you would expect. Often it has been for political reasons, not just to get into places when you are under-age. And often they have been grandparent over- age, like my Gran character whose espionage history 15 year old Zoe has to investigate. Now Fake I.D. is an e-book downloadable from the new ASA site, https://www.authors-unlimited.org, I'm expecting more hits, maybe not only for the wrong reasons?
Apt titles for books are vital.Harder than naming children, really. I favour one word cluey titles which are ambiguous like 'Feymouse' ( say it quickly). or even two word titles like 'Outback Ferals' which refers not to those who live in outback Darwin, but feral pigs as a pandemic threat.
Of course authors can't always control how their readers will interprete their titles, or even how they will pronounce them.
But extra long titles like 'There's a Hippopotamus on our Roof Eating Cake' have space challenges and take ages to write.
Little kids say 'Hittopotamus' and that's ok.
