A few days ago I sent a list of 62 possible titles for Juneau Book 1 to my editor. It was a total crazy brainstorm of a list, more meant to provoke thought than to offer a final choice, and some were pretty silly. (Juneau, for those who don’t know, is the name of the main character, and wasn’t ever meant to be a title.)
Today, while sitting in the hot tub with Anna Carey, Tara Hudson and Michelle Krys (okay…that was just so fun to write) I heard my iPhone buzz and saw an email from my editor that had honed the list down to three choices.
I told my hot tub companions the summary of the book, and the three potential titles, and we all voted for the same one. I reported the unanimous decision back to my editor, and she confirmed that the title of Juneau Book 1 will be…
are you ready?…*drumroll*
AFTER THE END
I hope it’s mysteriously vague enough to tempt you to read it. I can’t wait to see what the design team does with the cover!!!
And because I’m NOT going to give you a photo of the hottub where the voting action went down, here is a photo of the river running through our backyard. (I swam across it and back today. It was pretty cold. I’m the only one who has ventured in.)

Actuallay I’m jealous of that nice wheather, we’re having Jack Frost as a visitor in Germany again. But I’m also excited about your new book.

Best. News. This. Week!! What type of book will this be? Honestly, when I saw the name of the main character, I immediately thought of the movie Beetlejuice! 🙂 Can’t wait, Amy – I’m sure it’ll be fantastic!
