I’m a little tired of referring to “the novel I’m writing set during the Wars of the Roses,” which features Henry Stafford, the second Duke of Buckingham, and Katherine Woodville, his wife. What I really need, then, is a working title. Here are a few possibilities.
Harry Loses His Head
The Woodvilles: Not So Bad After All
A Few Weddings and a Whole Lot of Funerals
Down and Out at Weobley
Richard III: The Real Dirt
The Dastardly Duke
Katherine (has someone used that already?)
Love and Consequences (why let a perfectly good title go to waste now that all of those books have been recalled?)
So which should it be? You decide!
Lol! Oh Susan, I so know about the working title problem – I’m having the same myself!!! Really like the ‘A Few Weddings’ one though.
How about ‘Game Set and Match’? hehe
I think “the dastardly duke” or “love and consequences”
When Harry Met Kathy?
Susan
When Harry Met Kathy?
I vote for Harry Loses His Head 🙂
I often don’t get the title until the novel is nearly finished, because I never know what title will suit the story until it’s told. I also don’t like to pick the title too early, or to use a joke title, in case I find I get used to it and then stuck with it! Maybe you could just use something like ‘the Buckingham novel’ as a working title?
I like the weddings and funerals one, too!
For some reason this one makes me giggle: The Woodvilles: Not So Bad After All
I like A Few Weddingsn and a Whole Lot of Funerals best. 🙂
I really like Susan’s suggestion – When Harry met Kathy! Or A Few Weddings and a Whole Lot of Funerals.
I rather like Harry Loses His Head.
