Hello.

How much control do you have over the titles of your books or over their cover designs?  I believe that the title of 1356 was at first going to be Slaughteryard, which in my opinion would have been a much more exciting title and would have stood out better on the bookstore shelves.  Also, the cover of the edition of The Empty Throne that I read I thought was quite poor compared to the design that features the crowned helmet on the throne.

I assume that you were overruled at some stage over the title?

Many thanks.
