CHOOSING A TITLE

This topic came to mind as, not for the first time, a title around which I should write a story was offered. Usually something I say or have written, gives rise to the suggestion. So far though my titles come to mind when the story has progressed, or I have finished it. Only when I wrote the third book ‘The Haunt of Fate’ had I determined by the end of the first chapter that the word Fate had to appear in the title. Even if the word is not actually said, it is surprising how many sayings we use really express the hopes that the Fates are kind, or what will be, will be. Yet for several readers of the book mentioned what has interested them greatly as part of the story is the tour of Australia it gave them without the long journey of getting there.
