I browse the shelves at bookstores and the titles catch my attention, then I read the synopsis. I find a lot of great authors that way. ��Sharelle T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01468492616867931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20560277785651159672018-09-01T16:30:21.515-04:002018-09-01T16:30:21.515-04:00If I am eye-browsing for a book, then I definitely...If I am eye-browsing for a book, then I definitely am strongly influenced by the cover. If I hear of a book, I can be enthralled by the title or repelled (seldom) by the title. I have skipped over books because I didn't like the cover, and chosen the one with the more aesthetic cover. I actually don't recall having skipped a specific book because of the title, but sure it has happened. A title should give a nudge to what is in the book.Barb'dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956045052073874767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-80560465334135960992018-08-30T22:19:18.261-04:002018-08-30T22:19:18.261-04:00Oh, these suggestions are all so funny and clever!...Oh, these suggestions are all so funny and clever!I can't even come up with a single title myself, so I'll just have to throw in a true story.

Unfortunately in most cases those are two things that a traditionally published author doesn't have much control over.
