Heather asked Kelly Coon:

Gravemaidens is an awesome title! How did you come up with it? :)

Kelly Coon Thanks for the question, Heather!

So....I didn’t. My amazing unicorn of an agent dreamed it up after we went through about a hundred different options. It was initially called SOULS OF DEAD GIRLS and then JERICHO ROSE and then we couldn’t decide after that between many more. One day, she texted me GRAVEMAIDENS, and I said “Nah. That sounds like a death metal band.” And then I said: “YES!!! That sounds like a death metal band and I love it!” I certainly get a reaction from it, which was important to me when deciding.
