Two favorite things about being on this list:

1) The article says, "These fifteen feminist YA novels represent teen girls accurately: They’re brave. They’re smart. They’re capable. They know what they want."

2) NOVA REN SUMA IS ON THIS LIST!!!!

Ten Alternative Titles for Ink and Ashes

This is WAY overdue, but here it is. Fonda Lee (author of ZEROBOXER, April, 2015) tagged me in quirky little title game. Give it your own try! 

First, here are the rules:

“Scroll through your manuscript and stop on random place. Whatever you land on becomes one of ten terrible titles. I picked the first short sentences I randomly came across.”

And, here are the Ten Alternate Titles for INK AND ASHES:

1. The Full Translation 2. I Love Nicholas 3. I Hate to Brag 4. Go Ask Ashley 5. Kimono and Sash 6. We are Dead 7. Lure the Teachers 8. He's an Assho-- (My finger seriously landed on this random spot.) 9. Blood was Everywhere 10. Faint Whimper

I tag Sara Bolton, Jaime Kirby, and Erin Summerill.
