On the blog, we regularly refer to the first book in our ghost series as As-Yet-Untitled Ghost Novel #1, and, well, that&#8217;s a bit inaccurate. It&#8217;s had a working title for quite a while, which we use in file names, and amongst our beta readers. It&#8217;s a pretty cool name, and it doesn&#8217;t fall into the &#8220;Sounds like a Nancy Drew Book&#8221; trap. But it also doesn&#8217;t fit nicely into a set of like-minded titles for the remainder of the series.<\/p>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve mentioned in the past, we like for our series titles to coordinate. This bad boy is quite singular. We&#8217;ve batted ideas around, and came up with a matching bookend for the last in the series, but the two dudes in the middle are still waiting (im)patiently.<\/p>\n<p>Naming our three earlier series was much easier. Maybe we should blame this very focused and specific form of writer&#8217;s block on the vengeful spirits of our less-fortunate characters.<\/p>\n<p>A writing partner is someone who will hold your hand when things get scary.
