I like it that she's forced to turn on against her boyfriend, because that must makes the romance sparks more! ;) Can't wait to read this awesome-sounding book! <3 Happy release, Maureen! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-14148257414322303692012-10-31T16:46:55.920-04:002012-10-31T16:46:55.920-04:00That's the truth, Simone.

So we changed it in a panic, only adding an "s" after considering about 15 other titles. <br />The second book was supposed to be Shredder. But then it didn't really fit in the end, so we were going with Chosen, but there are at least 4 or 5 YA books with that title... <br />We had a list of about 30 possible names, none of which I liked, when I went to see the indie film Compliance and it hit me. Total, "Of course!" moment. It's a bit of a strange title out of context, but it actually really fits the book.<br />In the world, the defacto police are called Compliance Officers or Comps for short.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-8493946147071490462012-10-31T11:59:53.336-04:002012-10-31T11:59:53.336-04:00Happy Release, Maureen!
