Reviewan indication of how much control most authors have over how their babies get presented to the public:
''my hawk and fisher titles were perfectly acceptable to my british publisher,
but not to the u.s.
''no haven for the guilty'' became ''hawk and fisher''.
because: it was the first of a series starring hawk and fisher.
''devil take the hindmost'' became ''winner takes all''.
because: the publisher believed most americans wouldn't know what hindmost meant.
book 4, a gothic romance pastiche, was ''vengeance for a lonely man'' in the uk,
and ''wolf in the fold'' in the us.
because: the title was too long for the spine.
and book 6, ''two kings in haven'' in the uk, became ''bones of haven'' in the us.
because ... i haven't a clue. anti-monarchist feelings?''
