Working Titles
I've been wondering about working titles...
Some books have them. Some don't.
COLD FLAME was the working title of my first novel. In my convertible '66 Mustang driving on Coldwater Canyon with Phyllis Grann, then editor-in-chief of Putnam, she and I decided upon the title I've never regretted. THE WOMAN WHO LOVED JOHN WILKES BOOTH was published by Putnam in 1978.
Now Karen Joy Fowler's excellent novel BOOTH (Putnam) has just been released. Wonder if it had a working title.

Swerve
I swerved from sitcom to historical fiction. The Mary Tyler Moore Show 5th Season 1975 to THE WOMAN WHO LOVED JOHN WILKES BOOTH (GP Putnam 1978)
Mary Richards to Mary Surratt. What a swerve.
