An Accident Of Birth

I'm moving on from my working title.

Exit: Bolter Baron
Enter: An Accident Of Birth

I've written the book, and edited it several times. I have worked with critique partners, and finally I have a fully edited manuscript, for which the working title was Bolter Baron. I've now, after much deliberation and nail-biting, given it a title which I believe will be more appropriate:
An Accident Of Birth
I feel that the way the new title positions the story is much more appropriate for the mood and content than the working title.

I hope you agree, and if you honour me by reading the story once it's published, I believe you will.

So, what's next? I shall send out copies to beta readers. I can't wait to get their feedback.

After that...

The world is, as they say, my small, shell-like thing. Let's hope there's a pearl in it.
