MEN IN TIGHTS is Getting a Makeover!

I get the majority of my greatest ideas in the shower. I’m convinced it’s because of the steam. ​
The title of Men in Tights was no exception. Somewhere between blinking shampoo out of my eyes and scrubbing behind my ears, inspiration struck. And considering I’m a person who is notoriously terrible at coming up with titles for absolutely everything, thinking of something halfway decent was a BIG DEAL! Seriously. During my senior year of high school, I wrote a poem about steak for my literature class and named it "The Steak Poem." It was a very traumatic experience, but that's a story for another day. 

I was always proud of Men in Tights, but when Swoon Reads came to me and said we needed to switch things up, I was completely open to new ideas. Anything that helps the book is a great idea, in my opinion. Except... remember “The Steak Poem?” Yeah. I'm not the best at naming things once, let alone twice. 

Commence panic mode!

In a nutshell, the old title didn't quite match the story. (My main character, Abby, is not a man nor does she like to wear tights.) And also, did you guys ever see that Robin Hood movie? Well... it's also called Men in Tights, and I can't tell you how many people started referencing Robin Hood whenever I mentioned my book. And so a new title was born!

And that title is…

The Supervillain and Me

After the Swoon team suggested The Supervillain and Me, I was on board! The new title is fun and flirty, and let me just say that there is a really fun and flirty supervillain in this book. (Wink, wink.) ;)

I also want to note that the shiny new tagline is "Never trust a guy in spandex." Full disclosure, I had the biggest smile on my face when I read it for the first time!

I can't tell you how excited I am for you all to read the new and improved version of The Supervillain and Me! It's going to be SUPER fun! (Pun intended.)
