Thanks for the suggestion!<br /><br />Traci and Elizabeth, you'll be happy to hear that, despite the existing adult romance, Kate and her assistant are still leaning toward ME AFTER YOU. It certainly has appeal:)<br /><br />(Speaking of that existing adult romance, the only ME AFTER YOU I've been able to find appears to be a self-published title by Mindy Hayes. To those of you who are familiar with it, is that the ME AFTER YOU you're talking about? If not, who wrote (and published) the other?)Krista Van Dolzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830193414560232842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-51859202106259118342014-01-22T14:39:24.581-07:002014-01-22T14:39:24.581-07:00Definitely Me After You but if it's already be...Definitely Me After You but if it's already been taken by another romance novel then something with Pearl Street Bridge in it.

The ME and YOU just don't sit quite right. I like the idea, because that's what the book is about. (Karina after Lily, etc.)<br /><br />It's also about swimming and dancing and playing arcade games, and I'm getting hungry, so several scenes with food come to mind. (Mmm. Chili fries.)<br /><br />And I hate to pick just one aspect and stick it in the title, because it implies that the whole book is about that--buuut, dancing is a good metaphor for what the two MCs are learning about life, so:<br /><br />DANCE AFTER DEATH<br /><br />Also, it's alliterative. Awesome. :)<br /><br />That's all I got. Happy Birthday.<br /><br />(p.s.

So, I like...Happy Birthday (a day late?), Krista! <br /><br />So, I like FROM HERE ON OUT. As someone said, ME AFTER YOU is great, but already a romance novel title. I do like the "bridges" theme, the connection among all of these characters. Could that be related to "connection" or WHAT CONNECTS US ? I'm just throwing things out there. Or simply BRIDGES? <br /><br />Keep us posted!
