Seriously, whose idea was this title?
*Note to self: write to author to let her know that grass is for walking on, not smoking.*
Sheesh.

Well it got your attention ;).
I have never heard of these people and uh the book I think I will pass. Is this a new publisher? How many of these ebook sites are out there.
I swear I find a new one everyday.

Ummm – the title was odd and the first two times I glanced at it, I swore the notebook looked like a chinese take-out container.
Maybe a freudian vision, I dunno!

Hi Shelly, I was more taken aback by the title, I’ve seen worse covers, lol
Sybil, As far as I can tell, Ocean’s Mist Press have a couple of ok authors there, I’m not familiar with the rest, and to be honest, I’ve only ever bought 2 books from there.
Maura, I see what you mean, lol

It is a lame title, but could it have something to do with the Chinese zodiac? Isn’t a cock, as in rooster, one of the animals in the zodiac? It’s a stretch, I know.

I think it’s rather a cutesy title, and I think Scott is correct in the Whys of it. Not sure if I’d buy something with a cutesy title, however; I’d have to think about it.

Karen, does this mean I’m finally off the hook for I Know Who You Did Last Summer? LMAO! Hey sometimes authors have crazy bouts of inspiration. Maybe its a comedy?

It’s got to be comedy. If it’s not comedy then um…it’s got to be comedy.

I’m confused as hell and I give up trying to figure out the cover. That’s a big WTF moment, there. Dude, what were they smoking, er, thinking? Hey, Karen, did you guess the Carver?

I think it’s a hoot – would I buy it? No, so the marketing ploy failed – but there must be a market for it somewhere, lol.

Scott, you could be right, but it’s still a hell of a title!
Des, it’s just not a good title!
Dakota, yes you do have some crazy titles, lol!
Eve, I’m not sure about letting you off the hook for that title either, but it’s definitely a step up from this one!
Jaynie, I don’t think I’ll be reading it to find out whether it is or it isn’t!
Hehehe, Keishon, I totally forgot who it was that I’d been speaking to about the carver, I guessed it was Dr Ramirez, but I totally missed the cop lady until she was interviewing whatsherface!
It’s definitely a hoot Sam, but I wouldn’t buy it either!

LOL – I think it must be a comedic satire or some such. Laughable.
I agree that it probably has an audience out there.

Well….I do think it was meant to be comedic. But yeah, it gave me reason to pause as well. I don’t think I would go that far in a title.
