Alternative titles for Redemption

I got tagged on Facebook by Rumer Haven in a writing game called Eight Terrible Titles. The idea is to randomly let your cursor fall onto a spot within your manuscript eight times, and voila! Eight truly terrible title ideas.

So of course I decided to change the rules a bit and use my recently released manuscript Redemption. My editor and I tried to come up with an alternate title and never hit the sweet spot, but I think some of these might do nicely. What do you think?

I Told You We Should Have Hired Professionals

She Wanted to Feed Him Arsenic

A Woman Whose Gaze Could Freeze Flames

True To His Promise

Maybe She Should Have Picked Up Chinese

Damn Good Thing

Gazing Out the Window at the Snow-capped Mountains

Her Face a Porcelain Mask

Another, More Startling Notion

You Can’t Outrun Your Sins

Oh yeah, I can’t count either—that’s ten, not eight. But I really think that last one is a winner. Should have used it!

If you’re not doing anything today at 3 pm Eastern (8 pm London time) you should come check out the party on Facebook. The Women’s Fiction Writers Association is hosting a Facebook Launch party for twelve women’s fiction authors, and my slot is at 3 pm ET. I’ll be answering questions and chatting for 30 minutes.

And check out Rumer’s website; her book Seven for a Secret has a really great title, don’t you think? Although I think “Maybe She Should Have Picked Up Chinese” is equally intriguing.
