Thanks for the positive feedback on the change, it is very much appreciated! I am very concerned about spending a year using one title and then changing it. So I may use my title as a sub-title…

Interesting that they would rename the title of your work. Editor’s prerogative, I guess.

That said, I, like you, like “In Passing” better. As you said, it has a dual meaning and seems to fit better.

Congratulations, again, on getting published.

After thinking about it bit, I agree with you. My first reaction was disappointment. Likewise, I had been disappointed by the title in LenWork. I, too, had become attached to that title and it always flits through my mind when I see those memorials now. Still, your analysis here makes good sense and the double meaning is seductive. I may always think “Bad Trip-Sad Trip” when I spot a memorial, but “In Passing” has its merits.

It sounds as if you are pretty committed to Blurb.
