THE MOSQUITO VINE

What's in a name?

No one has any idea what my novel is about. This is partly my fault, I don't talk about it much (just to avoid the whole "I'm a douche-bag writer-lets talk about my book" syndrome). I'm curious about two things:

1. What do you think my book is about?

2. What does the title suggest to you?

I ask because I'm curious, vain, and contemplating changing the title.

I honestly don't know what your book is about but the title makes it sound like a mystery novel, to me anyway.

Interesting.

Malaria. But then you keep saying it has a car in it (right?), so I picture a car in the jungle and people getting malaria.
I'm not even lying.
