I don't have a title for you, but I have a suggestion for you to figure out your own!.

Do the victims have something in common!? Do they all wear green lipstick!? You could call it Lips In Green!. Okay, that's silly, but you know what I mean!.

Or think about how the groupie became a groupie!. Is there a phrase he/she uses during the interview that explains the killers' appeal!? Does anyone in the novel make a philosophical statement in the form of a metaphor or simile!? You could turn that statement into a title!.

Did the serial killers use a signature!? Did one watch the other kill and leave empty Hershey's kisses wrappers!? Ex!. Kissed By Death

Did the papers give the killer a nickname!? Did the authorities know ahead of time there were two of them!? Then their nickname could work as a title!.

Anyway, my point is that no matter how great a title the rest of us can find, the potential for the best title is in your head!. You know the material best and can come up with a title that is steeped in the story's plot!. Maybe give it a working title and see what you can come up with when you've finished the novel!.

It sounds interesting :) Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I learned a lesson one time, if you can't think of something clever then your best bet is to keep it simple!. If you try to force clever it will come out really bad and obvious!.!.!.!.

How about: "The Journalist who interviews two serial killers" haha, too simple!?!?
