Feathers?
November is National Epilepsy awareness month, and I'm delighted to welcome McCall Hoyle to my blog, author of The Thing With Feathers. We're going to enjoy some coffee together, so please find a cup and join us. But first...

Why didn't she use a more original title? I was confused with Noah Stryker's book of the same title-- actually about BIRDS. I see there are probably up to 10 books with this same title, based on Emily Dickinson's famous quote referring to hope. Still, I like it when authors choose their own unique titles.

I assumed the book was about a bird when I first read the title - I wonder if it's a different part of the brain that looks for literary references. The title kind of appeals, in that it makes me think, and I'm guessing it has particular relevance to the story too, since Emilie takes an interest in literature. I wonder if a play on the phrase would make for a good title.
THis title has apparently appealed to many! Emily Dickinson was inspirational. You could probably think of a good play on the phrase.
