I’m so excited to officially announce a third companion novel in the ALONE series!
Publication is planned for Jan ‘27, but I need help with a title! Should it start with A? Should it be one word? If your readers have ideas, I would love to hear them!

I need title ideas for a third book in the ALONE and AWAY series.

Should it be one word? Should it start with A? Have your readers to send me their good ideas.
