What’s in a Name?
Thank goodness titles can’t be copyrighted.
When I finished writing the first draft of my latest book back in early 2014, I decided I wanted to call it Sidekick. Not only did I search Amazon for books with that name, I did a Google search as well. There was nothing close to what my book was about that had Sidekick in the name, so I felt safe in giving it that name, and registered it with the WGA.
Imagine my surprise when I actually went to publish it, and there were two books called Sidekick, another called Sidekicks, a trade paperback collection of a comic series called Sidekick, and a middle grade novel called Sidekicked…all about superhero sidekicks.
And all published in the interim. Weird? Yeah, I’d say so.

I know the feeling. You finally think of a good, totally original title, and then that happens. Nice cover, by the way.
Thanks! (Sorry it took so long to approve your comment, by the way. It slipped by me until today somehow.)
