Early Wednesday
Okay today is Wednesday 'Hump Day' of the week. So far this morning and by morning I mean its 2:43 a.m. I have written and I have emailed and now I am blogging. I did do my Pam's Pen Column for Mary Emmons at Voices In The Dark. I think it was okay for a first column. Let's see what can I talk about this morning before I retire to the land of bubbles.
Let's talk about book titles: I think BUBBLES UNBOUND is a great title, I also like SUGAR PLUM DEAD....doesn't that just state it all?
MUCH ADO ABOUT MURDER gotta love Jill Churchill for that title althought my personal favorite of hers is.....GRIME AND PUNISHMENT....but honestly can the woman come up with a bad title? Nope WAR AND PEAS is a classic.LOLOL....
MAD AS THE DICKENS by Toni L.P. Kelner well doesn't that just make your imagination run amuck?
HOCUS CROAKUS by Mary Daheim or how about FOWL PREY and LEGS BENEDICT?
TOOL and DIE by Sarah Graves I mean these titles are priceless and then when I go to think of a title I always think all the good ones are taken.LOLOL...
JUST MURDERED by Elaine Viets now I would have killed for that title it is so me!! LOLOL....
Janet Evanovich has the numbers, Sue Grafton has the alaphabet titles, another author has the nursery rythmes, some else has the Cat Who Books, others have song titles od course still others have puzzles, scapbooking and knitting titles, bad hair day titles, dessert titles, I am decided this time to start something new with the next book. I almost went with
SHE DID IT...then the next book HE DID IT, then the next book THEY DID IT, but changed my mind for obvious reasons.....
Still titles intrigue me....
People intrigue me too such as why do old women sound so loveable between the pages of a mystery but when you meet one in person they are not nice at all. Isn't it old people's job to be nice, show wisdom,and I mean heck I remember my grandparents being gracious and sweet and very nice people. Is old people being nice also a dying art?
Speaking of art tonight I went with Frank as he did an unlock for Triple AAA which means he used his break in to cars kit...now this is awesome and I am putting this in my book for Page but I have to tell you breaking into the new cars is AN ART....I was as captivated with watching him as I was watching Ocean's Eleven and Twelve.
You know maybe I don't give my husband enough credit for his gifts and talents.LOLOL.....
You know when I was young I used to dream about having my own detective agency and I was would come to work each day wearing a trench coat and hat and I would prop my feet complete with wonderful spike heels on my desk. I would have clients who wanted their dogs found and who would ask if I would follow their husbands and I would get to wear all sorts of diguises and travel to far off places and my secretary would be guy who popped his bubble gum and wore tennis shoes but had the best hair....and I carried my how to be a detective manuel everywhere I went but keep in mind I was not drawing attention to myself.LOLOLOL.....I daydreamed a lot as a child....I danced in front of the mirror a lot when I was a kid too, the one thing I never dreamed about was cooking and cleaning although when very small I loves doll dishes you know the corning ware dishes and the easy bake ovens but after that cooking got pushed away from dancing, dreaming and visions of Sam Spade.
Now when I grow up I wanna be Jessica Fletcher and Nora Charles.....although in reality I'm a bit more like Desiree Shapiro in Selma Eichler's Books. LOLOLOL......still I have these daydreams you see.......
Hugs, Pamela

I love so many of the titles you listed but my personal favorite is STILL Bimbos of the Death Sun by Sharyn McCrumb! Followed by her Zombies of the Gene Pool.
And yes, titled themes are so fun I wish I was better at it. And I do like the He did it etc... titles but can't really use them without some spoilage in the suspect pool.
And I love the fantasy of being detective or spy but am way too chicken to do something that dangerous in real life. Fantasy is the place for it to stay!
I must confess. It was my husband Steve who came up with the title MAD AS THE DICKENS. I'll give him your compliments.
