THE EIGHT FINGERED CRIMINAL'S SON - Rigmarole Over the Title...
It seems there has been some confusion about the title of my new book, The Eight Fingered Criminal's Son.
First of all, I am the eight fingered criminal's son. Furthermore my old man did more than his share of time in the big house and he parted ways with two of his fingers, making him the eight fingered criminal
More than a few people have voiced their displeasure with the title."Doesn't everybody have eight fingers, eight fingers and two thumbs?"
"Did the guy have eight fingers on one hand?"
Yeah, I thought about the title's potential confusion. I guess I could have gone with one of the following alterate titles...
The Son of the Criminal Who was Missing Two Fingers
The Eight-Phalanged Criminal's Son
The Eight-Digited Convict's Kid
The Offspring of a Convicted Felon with Six Fingers and Two Thumbs
The Menace to Society with Two Hacked Off Fingers' Son
See what I mean. I think I'll stick with The Eight-Fingered Criminal's Son.
The collection of short stories is available as an ebook on Amazon.com. You can download The Eight-Criminal's Son for a measly five bucks by clicking the link below.
