Oh, bloody hell —
There’s a fairy-tale Swan Sister book already. Not my story, thank goodness, but the title. Bah. (Also a non-fairy tale book, but this disturbs me less.)
Yes, yes, I know there are hundreds of books that share similar or identical titles with one another out there. But when one believes one has come up with a perfect title, and discovers that someone else already did, it somewhat takes the wind out of one’s sails. And I know perfectly well that a working title has nothing to do with the final title, more often than not. Still: argh.
Sisters of Swan?
Doesn’t work, alas. One swan, singular, of one sister, singular.
Meh; I will deal. It was just annoying to finally discover it, that’s all. I should be glad there are only two books with the same title.
I have it and thought you already knew about it. *now feels slightly guilty for not mentioning before*
But FYI it’s a book of various fairy stories with a twist. I loved it ~ surreal and mythic. Just my cup of tea . . .
I’m absolutely certain that I’ll be picking it up soonish because of the editors and writers included. What I’m most surprised about is the fact that I somehow didn’t know about it, because I love (a) retellings of fairy tales, and (b) collections involving Datlow and/or Windling at the helm. I’ll also be looking up Wolf at the Door.
Or maybe I didn’t jump at it when I saw the original listing because I’d just read The Green Man collection and it didn’t quite work for me.
Swan’s Sister?
Anyhow, tell me about it. A Company of Heroes is like, a book, a movie, a video game… and one of my many works-in-progress. Argh, indeed.
