Greetings everyone.
I have a draft of the book. It's still more than the allotted 85,000 words, so the task of "killing your darlings" goes on. However, Death is not the end, as Bob Dylan (and The Bad Seeds) put it. All good stuff shall live on in "White Rose Babylon".
So, here are the working titles of the chapters for "Paint My Name In Black and Gold". They might change, but these are the ones I have been using for a while now. 14 might become "Upriver" or "The Horror, The Horror" and 13 might split into "Detroit's Finest" and "The Pilgrims' Progress" ...
