If someone searches The Art of Letting Go on Amazon, just a general search, not for books, they may stumble onto it.

As you say, the 'Art' reference is relevant, and you feel the title suits your book. If Mariah's album is a big success, the phrase will be in people's heads and that might encourage them to pick up your book if they chance across it (online, or perhaps even on the front table at Waterstones...)Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-15994710146797428022014-02-04T06:55:21.967+00:002014-02-04T06:55:21.967+00:00You had to go and tell everyone about my waters......You had to go and tell everyone about my waters...billybloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892046980111756373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-74804263312718540812014-02-03T14:15:36.791+00:002014-02-03T14:15:36.791+00:00Thanks, Tom.

I'm delighted for you, and sincerely hope it goes according to plan for both your happy events. <br />For what it's worth, I like the 'new' title for your book, because I think it's intriguing, and that's what will take prospective readers to the blurb, which in turn will take them to the first page.<br />Since I last passed this way I've written (in about five drafts), a crime novel titled 'Beyond The Law'. It had various working titles over about 18 months, but when I chose my title I stuck with it, even when I discovered a movie, and a TV series of the same name.<br />It's an eBook on Amazon and has been selling steadily (since Nov '13). It would have been nice to wait around for an agent, and do the traditional thing, but I'm trying to keep up with a changing world. <br />Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-25710909291194567222014-02-01T20:36:56.023+00:002014-02-01T20:36:56.023+00:00You may be the only person in the world who knows ...You may be the only person in the world who knows who I am and not who Mariah Carey is - bless you for it!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183206722136871230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650080146272323615.post-50836882459178809492014-01-31T19:17:16.626+00:002014-01-31T19:17:16.626+00:00Stick to the title.

I wouldn't though!DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803989273524731892noreply@blogger.com
