My father w/five of us six children, 1962
I do not know exactly when my book will be published (hoping for this year), but I do know it will be sent to my editor on February 22, 2014. It is amazing how fast content can get moved around or deleted when there is a deadline. It's all good, though. Something needs to come along to motivate me to make decisions about the final manuscript.
I am a little anxious. I have three weeks to go through a handful more of chapters and decide if it is beneficial to add some other extraneous thoughts somewhere. I fear that my editor is going to get my manuscript and realize he took on something that is not fixable. Time will tell.
I'm torn between two titles:
1) Unraveling My Father's Suicide
vs.
2) Unraveling My Father's Suicide: The Forging of a New Family Legacy
Of course, those are my ideas. My editor may have a few others. For now though, feel free to let me know which of the two above you like, i.e., with or without a subtitle - and why. Or suggest another one. Without reading the manuscript, it might be a challenge. Give it a shot anyhow.
