poor little island

[rinue]

In my attempt to come up with a title for the now-finished novel, I have accidentally written a poem simply because of how I grouped a few of the options:

Lonely Island
Gathered Here Today
Above an Empty Ocean

Poor little island.

(Incidentally, I don't think any of these are great titles for the book, and in fact the current front-runner, also not great, is A Long Summer Waiting for Fall.)

ETA: I think I'm going with The Sifting Floor for now.

Kudos on the now finished novel. Hope to read it in the near future.

Then is is probably best that I clarify that it takes place in a house very similar to your house and has dogs very similar to your dogs, and is set in Maryland during the summer because I came up with the idea at your birthday party. For the same reasons, the male lead joins a theater group at one point. However, I want to emphasize that the couple which it is about, who horrible things happen to, as it is a horror novel, are NOT based on you and L, and any similarities not listed above are purely coincidental. This will probably be obvious when you read the book, but it's worth saying straight out just in case.

I'm honored that you came up with the idea under my roof. Look forward to reading it.
