HELP!...I need a title.

Off the top of my head ... "Life Has Its Upside Downs"

[stevemcgirr]

"Over easy"

[Patch]

"Keep The Shiny Side Up"

[DaleB]

Just thought of one in case the original just isn't going to work for whatever reason (though I still think it's best)...

"Feet Skyward"

[Chuck Hagerty]

Every time I get online and check the site there are more comments, and I appreciate that. Someone (I won't mention who just yet) even has a wife who is an editor and she offered to read through the book.

I'm already working with an editor, but an extra set of eyes is always valuable.

You're right Jon, I hope this will appeal to a broader group than just our airplane bunch and I'm trying to factor that into the decision. The building part that is so appealing to us is to esoteric to attract many other folks, but plane crashes seem to gather a crowd.

I'll definitely have a picture of the upside down debacle on the cover...that much is decided.

I recently flipped one of my planes as of June of this year so I know the feeling.
So how about "upside down and nowhere to go"

You'll want a simple title and a subtitle with a little more context, but only enough to lure folks in. Good luck with the book! And worth mentioning...blogs see better income these days. So if you want to see some return on your investment, maybe consider releasing a chapter a week and get some advertisers on there.

Bruce, "Upside down and nowhere to go" was definitely the essence of the problem. Hope you weren't hurt.

Paul, as you know, writing something is only the first step. Next you have to get it published, and then you have to market it. I've figured out the first two steps and have been working on the third, but this is an entirely foreign subject...I hadn't even thought of a blog. Here's the first paragraph of the introduction. I hope it grabs peoples attention.

Everything was upside down, my right hand didn?t work, and my neck hurt. It was mid June 2013 and I was in the grass, beside the runway of a small airport in Pennsylvania. Disoriented and dazed, I looked at my wife and her eyes were closed. Lord, no. Several bright spots of blood were starting to seep from shallow cuts on her face. She opened her eyes, touched her cheek, looked at the blood on her hand. ?Am I disfigured?? she whispered. I told her she?d be OK, and that we needed to try to get out. I hated myself for hurting her, and I could smell gas.

Wow, Chuck. I just got chills reading that. I would lose the "mid June" statement as it's not relevant and it interrupts the power of that sentence.
Whichever way you go, I bet it'll be a winner! Good luck.

1. The Journey started when I crashed.

2. The Journey started upside down.

3. My favorite:

I didn't really fly until I was upside down.
(My story of life after an airplane crash)

Hope these give you food for thought, I will read your book, whatever the title is.
