Edelweiss's book is a great read and keeps one on the seat of their pants the entire time. There is so much variety in place, actions and personalities.

I am reading your comments JJ and Edelweiss. Do you remember my suggesting other titles for the reasons you mentioned above. NO, not the half moon, it is just a blurb in the entire book and not important enough to warrent the title in my mind.
Run Melonie, Run, is okay but as you said some may think her a competitive runner. So may I suggest since I've read the manuscript completely...

RUN MEL0NIE, ESCAPE...

RUNNING FROM DISASTER...

MELONIES MURDEROUS ENCOUNTER...

WHY DOES MELONIE RUN?

Just a couple of suggestions...
