The title for your new book in the series is unique and full of contrasts. Tell us about Fairy Blade Unmade and how you came up with the title and what is special to you in her new adventure?

Fairy Blade Unmade brings back a character that Reg first met in book 2, A Psychic with Catitude, the adolescent fairy Calliopia. Calliopia has received a dire wound and everyone has given up on being able to save her. Reg believes that the destruction of the magical weapon that wounded Calliopia is the key to her being able to heal. But unfortunately, no one in Black Sands has the ability to unmake it. Can you say road trip?*
I generally title my books before I begin writing them, brainstorming various words and phrases that fit with the theme of the book, playing with them, and searching on Goodreads to avoid identical titles if possible. Then I lay the various “winners” out on a mocked up cover to see what works well visually. I particularly liked the rhyme and resonance of “blade unmade” for this book.
*Tip: Don’t take two cats, a pixie, and energy drinks on a quest. They don’t mix well.
